We can provide auto repair garage\u00a0business insurance on a Business Owner Policy\u00a0package policy form and also more traditional CPP garage liability policy. The BOP form is designed to provide comprehensive insurance for most auto repair businesses.<\/p>\n<p>We know that auto repair garage insurance must cover the unique exposures to loss that car repair shop businesses are exposed to. \u00a0For example, some auto repair garage businesses also sell cars and we have the capability of providing coverage to both businesses when required. In these cases, we may need to more carefully consider the overall operations a little bit differently but, in most cases, we can provide coverage to almost any form of auto repair business. That includes car wash businesses. In many cases we are able to provide auto wash insurance protection for the business under our Business Owner Insurance program. \u00a0When reasonable underwriting and management requirements can be met, our flexible package of coverage can provide business owners some of the best auto repair garage insurance available in the marketplace.<\/p>\n<p>The versatile Commercial Package Policy or the Business Owners Policy have been designed as a package of property, liability, and ancillary coverage that auto repair shop businesses need and the policies can be comprehensive or basic. Auto related businesses can be provided coverage on BOP-like programs or typical Garage Liability CPP policy forms.<\/p>\n<p>A general outline of the most common available coverage options for our Auto Repair Garage\u00a0insurance programs are shown below as standard or optional coverage:<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Liability on an\u00a0Auto Repair Garage\u00a0Insurance Policy<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Bodily Injury and Property Damage, Premises Liability\n<ul>\n<li>Primary Limits up to $2,000,000\/$4,000,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>Personal Injury and Advertising Liability Coverage<\/li>\n<li>Employment Practices Liability Insurance<\/li>\n<li>Fellow Employee Coverage<\/li>\n<li>Host Liquor Liability<\/li>\n<li>Non-owned Watercraft<\/li>\n<li>Hired and Non-Owned Auto Liability<\/li>\n<li>Products and Completed Operations Liability<\/li>\n<li>Employee Benefits Liability<\/li>\n<li>Ohio Stop Gap Liability Insurance<\/li>\n<li>Cyber liability coverage<\/li>\n<li>Garage Keepers Liability Insurance (Primary or Legal Liability)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Regardless of business type, liability insurance protects against the tort of negligence that arise from business operations and it is no different for <strong>auto shop business insurance<\/strong>.\u00a0 The tort of negligence is a breach of duty that is derived from common law principles that have evolved through decades and even centuries of recorded decisions about our relationships with one another.\u00a0 It is no different for any auto related business operation. A duty is an obligation we owe to someone else.\u00a0 In essence, we owe each other the duty to protect them from the consequences of our actions and when someone is hurt or suffers harm to either body, property, or reputation, in our culture we boil down our grievances to a monetary settlement in most cases.\u00a0 In the case of the liability coverage provided in our auto-related business insurance policy, we will pay for the benefit of a legal defense against the claims of injury or damage. We will also pay the amounts that become due to another because a finding of your negligence. This occurs through legal proceedings or an agreement accomplished through the negotiations of your insurance carrier and the other people involved in the claim.\u00a0 This includes bodily injury and property damage as a result of events on the premises, through acts on and away from the work facilities, injuries caused by products, advertising injury, personal injuries other than bodily injury, hired and non-owned auto liability, and injury or damage caused due to computer intrusion and compromise when chosen.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Property Coverage<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Buildings, Fixtures, Building Improvements including multiple locations<\/li>\n<li>Business Personal Property including\u00a0Property Service Equipment<\/li>\n<li>Building Limit Automatic Increase<\/li>\n<li>Valuable Papers and Records<\/li>\n<li>Accounts Receivable Coverage<\/li>\n<li>Computer Coverage and Cyber Crime<\/li>\n<li>Outdoor Signs\u2014Attached and Detached<\/li>\n<li>Building Ordinance or Law Coverage<\/li>\n<li>Off-Premises Coverage for Business Personal Property, including Property in Transit<\/li>\n<li>Earthquake Coverage (Some carriers)<\/li>\n<li>Business Income, including Extra Expense Coverage<\/li>\n<li>Coverage For Water Back-up<\/li>\n<li>Equipment Breakdown<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Property insurance is required to be included when we use a Business Owner Policy (BOP) to insure an auto repair garage business.\u00a0 If you own the building, we must include the building.\u00a0 We must include the business personal property, stock and fixtures. That is because <strong>auto repair garage insurance<\/strong> BOP policy is a package policy that requires both liability and property coverage be included to maximize discounts.\u00a0 The BOP policy is cost effective and builds in large package credits for more inclusive policy construction.\u00a0 The package of coverage is easy to issue and maintain than an assortment of separate policy forms and coverage.\u00a0 The business owner policy provides a lot of coverage in a tidy package and it is flexible enough to handle multiple locations. It can also manage a variety of situations for building, business personal property, computer and cyber-crime needs, signs, off premises property, loss of business income, and break down of critical building mechanical systems that may alter your ability to operate.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Inland Marine and Special Property<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>(<a href=\"https:\/\/project-011.com\/business-insurance\/inland-marine-insurance\/\">See IM Section for more Details<\/a>)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Mobile equipment and property that leaves the premises is best covered with an inland marine endorsement that is designed for equipment that may float to where you actually do your work.\u00a0 Mobile car repair\u00a0businesses have special concerns about mobile equipment and tools they use.

This becomes very important to mobile auto repair\u00a0businesses or when occasional work is conducted away from the premises.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Umbrella Liability<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Umbrella liability is an additional limit of coverage that protects for damages that exceed primary policies and sometimes losses that were not covered in the primary policies but were not excluded by the language of the umbrella policy.\u00a0 Umbrellas covering over an underlying auto repair business insurance policy provide the additional coverage for financial protection. Carriers writing the underlying BOP will often write umbrella liability for Auto Repair Garage businesses.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Crime and Fidelity<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Employee Theft<\/li>\n<li>Crime Inside<\/li>\n<li>Crime Outside<\/li>\n<li>Employee Dishonesty<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The loss of money through theft, robbery or burglary, or the dishonesty of an employee are losses that can cripple a small business of any kind.
