Washington Supreme Court

1Opinion of the CourtDurham, J.
The Automotive Repair Act (ARA), RCW 46.71, was significantly amended in 1982 in an effort to create a more equitable balance between the interests of mechanics 1 and consumers. See Laws of 1982, ch. 62. This case examines the effect of those amendments on a mechanic's right to be paid for duly performed vehicle repairs, despite violations of the ARA's consumer protection provisions. Both the Superior Court and Court of Appeals held that violations of the act do not preclude payment for repairs. Clark v. Luepke, 60 Wn. App. 848, 809 P.2d 752 (1991). We affirm.
