BOISE — Attorney General Raúl Labrador announced a default judgment entered in April 2025 against Swanky LLC, doing business as Swanky Steel, and its operator, Justin Bussard, for deceptive business practices that harmed consumers from out of state attempting to buy products from an Idaho business.
The Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division filed a lawsuit in January 2025, alleging that Swanky LLC and Bussard accepted payments from consumers for custom-made vehicle parts but failed to deliver those products or issue refunds. The default judgment prohibits Bussard from operating any business involving custom-made vehicle parts or similar services unless he does so as an employee or agent under direct supervision.
The judgment also orders restitution payments of $6,542.09 to affected consumers and imposes $10,000 in civil penalties.
“This judgment ensures accountability for dishonest business practices and prevents further deceptive conduct which could ultimately harm Idaho families,” said Attorney General Labrador. “Our Consumer Protection Division works hard to uphold fairness in the marketplace and defend Idahoans from deceptive conduct.”
Consumers who experience similar deceptive practices may file consumer complaints with the Consumer Protection Division. A complaint form is available here.
