The boot refers, I believe, to one of two things. Since you don't give an example of reference, I shall attempt to describe both.
In the UK, "boot" refers to the trunk, or covering on the back part of the car where things are stored. To Remove the Boot means to take the cover off or open teh trunk.
In the US, "boot" may refer to an object known as a "DENVER BOOT" which is a large matallic lock placed on a car to keep it from being driven. This is usually used when cars are found to have voilated parking restrictions or when tickets remain unpaid for too long. The car is 'imobilized' on the spot, by the adminstering of the Denver Boot. (Name for the City of it's Origin, Denver Colorado) When someone refers to having the boot removed, they may mean to pay the tickets and have the imobilizing device taken off the car.

Take the boot off the car is an expression from way back when cars had removable hoods and still today hoods are called boots in the UK. It means to open something up and take a good look at it to determine what needs fixing
