See liability and customer-car cover separately

When your broker brings quotes back, we compare liability limits on one side and customer-vehicle limits and deductibles on the other, including whether that protection depends on your legal liability or pays directly.

Is Garage Liability Insurance right for you?

  • Auto repair and service shops

    Your technicians work on customers’ cars all day, so the quote should describe your services and say how it treats defective parts and the repair work itself.

  • Shops that keep cars overnight

    Customer vehicles parked on your lot raise a garagekeepers question that sits apart from your liability coverage.

  • Garages that test-drive or deliver cars

    Employees driving customer vehicles need the right vehicles, drivers and uses on the policy.

  • Operators with more than one location

    Each site holds a different number and value of customer cars, with its own customer-vehicle limits and deductibles.

When to get Garage Liability Insurance

  • 01

    You’re opening a shop

    Line up liability for your operations, garagekeepers for customer cars and property coverage for the building and equipment before you take the first job.

  • 02

    You’ve started holding cars overnight

    Overnight storage and key security come up in underwriting, and the number of cars on the lot affects the customer-vehicle limits you need.

  • 03

    You added pickup and delivery

    Driving customer cars to and from their owners is a use the broker needs to hear about. Say who drives and where, so the quote addresses it.

  • 04

    You opened another location

    Give the new site its own count and value of customer vehicles, and set limits and deductibles that fit it.

Garage Liability Insurance questions

Also known as garage insurance, garagekeepers insurance, garage keepers liability insurance, auto repair shop insurance, mechanic shop insurance and body shop insurance.

Does garage liability cover customers’ cars?

Damage to a customer’s car left in your care is what garagekeepers addresses, and it’s compared separately from liability for your shop’s operations. Spot checks whether each proposal includes it.

What’s the difference between legal liability and direct garagekeepers?

They’re two bases for protecting customer vehicles in your care: one tied to your legal liability for the damage, the other written as direct coverage. How each responds depends on the form, so Spot asks which basis every quote offers and what conditions apply.

Are test drives covered?

Only if the policy covers those vehicles, drivers and uses, so don’t assume. Spot describes who drives, which vehicles and any pickup or delivery, then checks that each quote addresses them.

Is my shop building covered too?

Ask separately. Your building and equipment need property coverage, which addresses a different risk from garage liability and customer-vehicle protection, even when a program combines them.

Our broker has written the shop’s garage policy for years. Can we keep them?

Yes. Spot works with your broker on the garage and garagekeepers renewal and takes no commissions on premiums. If you’d rather try a broker who places more auto service shops, we help you switch.
