What Is Garage Keepers Insurance?

Garage liability insurance is a specific policy that protects you as a business owner who works with vehicles. This coverage helps pay the bills if an employee, customer, or yourself gets hurt in the garage. One accident can result in hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs. Most businesses can’t come back from that expense.

The cost of your garage insurance will depend on what your business involves. For example, a small mechanic shop that works on one or two cars at a time will have different costs than a large dealer. A few factors that insurance companies consider are:

Type of work or business
Value of inventory
History of claims
Location

Auto repair shops
Body shops
Tow yards or impound lots
Muffler shops
Transmission shops
Car dealerships

What Does Garage Keepers Insurance Cover?

The primary purpose of garage liability insurance is to cover the expenses of injuries that happen in your garage or shop at work.

If a customer or employee gets hurt, your garage insurance will cover the cost for their medical care up to the limits in your policy.

Beyond injury issues, your garage insurance can cover other things like discrimination lawsuits. If a potential or previous employee sues for discrimination or wrongful termination, your coverage kicks in. It will help pay the legal costs associated with litigation.

An added benefit with this coverage is reimbursement if an employee has been stealing, vandalizing your garage or providing faulty workmanship, the policy can cover damages and replacements, saving you from paying out of pocket.

You also can choose to add on coverage for manufactured parts or products that you sell in your garage. If a component installed on a customer’s vehicle in your shop malfunctions and causes damage, your garage insurance can cover the costs.
