Garage Liability Insurance

Garage liability covers bodily injury and property damage arising out of your repair shop’s operations and premises. Here’s what that means, and where it stops.

What it covers

Garage liability responds when your shop’s operations cause bodily injury or property damage to someone else — a customer who slips in the bay, damage caused during a repair, or a claim arising from the premises. Limits of $1M each accident / $3M aggregate, with higher limits available, subject to appetite.

Where it stops

Garage liability is not the coverage for physical damage to a customer’s vehicle in your care — that’s garagekeepers, a separate line. It also doesn’t cover your own tools (tools and equipment) or injured employees (workers’ comp). Coverage is governed solely by the terms of the issued policy.

Common questions

Auto repair coverage, answered.

Does garage liability cover customer cars?
Generally no. Damage to a customer’s vehicle in your care is covered under garagekeepers, a separate line. Garage liability covers third-party injury and property damage from your operations.
What limit do I need?
It depends on your operations and contracts. Limits shown here are placeholders; a real limit is set at quote and governed by the issued policy.
