Court of Appeals of Washington
Decided June 25, 2007No. 57428-1-IPublishedCited by 8 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
¶1 — In an action to recover the cost of automotive repairs under the Automobile Repair Act (ARA), chapter 46.71 RCW, the trial court has the discretion to award attorney fees to the prevailing party.

We reverse the RALJ court and affirm the district court’s decision to award attorney fees under the ARA.
