What auto shops typically need
| Coverage | Required? | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Garage Liability | Usually Required | Covers your shop operations—injuries or damage to customers and their property while on your premises or from your work. |
| Garagekeepers | Usually Required | Covers customer vehicles in your care, custody, and control. If a car gets damaged in your shop, this pays. |
| Commercial Auto | Optional | Covers your shop vehicles—tow trucks, courtesy cars, parts runners. Required if you have titled vehicles. |
| Tools & Equipment | Optional | Inland marine coverage for your lifts, diagnostic equipment, and specialty tools. |
| Business Property | Optional | Covers your building (if owned), inventory, and business personal property. |
| Workers' Compensation | Usually Required | Required if you have employees. Covers medical costs and lost wages for work injuries. |
The Distinction
Garage liability vs. garagekeepers
These two coverages sound similar but cover different things. Most shops need both.
Garage Liability
Covers your operations—if a customer slips in your waiting room, or if you damage someone else's property while test-driving their car. It's your general liability + auto liability combined into one policy form.
Garagekeepers
Covers customer vehicles in your care. If a car gets damaged while in your shop—fire, theft, collision, vandalism—garagekeepers pays to fix it.
