Critical Insurance for Your Automotive Business:

  • Garage Liability Insurance: This core policy covers bodily injury and property damage caused by your garage operations. It's essential for covering incidents like a customer slipping in your waiting room or faulty repair work that leads to an accident.
  • Garagekeepers Liability: Protects your customers' vehicles while they are in your care, custody, and control. This covers damage from fire, theft, vandalism, or collision in your shop.
  • Workers' Compensation: Protects your valuable technicians, service writers, and other employees from on-the-job injuries, from a slip on an oil slick to an injury from heavy equipment.
  • Commercial Property & Equipment Breakdown: Insures your building, lifts, diagnostic tools, and other expensive equipment against damage, theft, or mechanical failure.
  • Dealers Open Lot (Dealers Physical Damage): For auto dealers, this is crucial coverage that protects your vehicle inventory from theft or physical damage.
  • Commercial Auto Insurance: Covers your tow trucks, parts runners, and other company-owned vehicles.
