Do you have the right insurance solution in place for your auto repair or service business and its level of risk?

One of your primary responsibilities as an owner is making sure your auto repair or service business is safe. But while you may have followed all required safety guidelines and taken additional precautions for good measure, accidents still have a high likelihood of happening in your industry, due to many reasons.

• You always have lots of people coming and going. Customers, parts suppliers, outside towing companies, and more are dropping off and picking up cars and other items all day long. Visitors like these increase your exposure to someone getting hurt while on your property and suing you for related medical and other expenses.
• You have flammable items everywhere. There is an elevated risk of a fire on premises like yours, due to the number of ignitable items—paints, oils, solvents, degreasers—and the things that can ignite them, like welding equipment and electrical wiring.
• You have been entrusted to care for other people’s property. During the time period a customer’s car is in your custody and control, you may be held responsible for any damage that happens to it, as well as the contents inside. Damage resulting from events like a fire, vandalism, or hailstorm, or an accident that happens while you or an employee is test driving the car or performing work on it, may end up being your responsibility to pay for.

While you may not be able to eliminate these and other high-risk factors, you can be better prepared for the potential outcome by making sure you have an auto repair and service insurance solution in place that provides you with a wide array of protection and risk management options.

HIG helps you put together the auto repair and service insurance solution that is best for your business.

An auto repair and service solution through HIG typically includes the following three major coverage areas and related protections.

While this is already exceptionally broad coverage, if your specific business requires it, we can further enhance your auto repair and service insurance solution with several other available protections, such as commercial umbrella insurance, management liability, employment practices liability, mechanic’s professional liability, auto liability for dealer plates, and more.
