Auto Repair Shop Insurance FAQs

What insurance does an auto repair shop need?

Repair shops commonly consider garage liability, garagekeepers, commercial property, workers’ compensation, commercial auto, equipment breakdown, business interruption, and pollution liability coverage. Needs vary according to the services the shop provides.

What is the difference between garage liability and garagekeepers insurance?

Garage liability generally addresses certain claims arising from your business operations. Garagekeepers insurance helps protect customers’ vehicles while they are in your care, custody, or control.

Are customers’ vehicles covered while at my shop?

Customers’ vehicles may be covered under garagekeepers insurance for qualifying losses. Available protection may differ depending on whether coverage applies on a legal liability, direct primary, or direct excess basis.

Does insurance cover faulty repair work?

General liability or completed operations coverage may address resulting bodily injury or property damage from covered work. It generally does not pay simply to redo defective work, and exclusions may apply.

Are test drives covered?

Coverage for test drives depends on the policy, driver, vehicle, purpose of the trip, and shop procedures. Your agent can help review how test drives and customer vehicles are addressed.

How much does auto repair shop insurance cost?

Pricing may depend on services performed, annual revenue, payroll, location, building and equipment values, number of employees, customers’ vehicle values, claims history, and selected coverage.
