GARAGE LIABILITY INSURANCE – NON-DEALER

Garage liability insurance offers essential protection for automotive service businesses, covering common incidents like customer slip-and-fall accidents or third-party property damage. Without garage liability insurance, your business remains vulnerable to costly claims and financial losses.

A Lancer garage liability insurance policy can be enhanced with optional coverages, such as:

  • Personal injury liability – Covers non-physical injuries, like libel, slander, defamation, or invasion of privacy
  • Advertising injury – Protects against claims involving marketing activities, including copyright or idea infringement
  • Additional insured endorsements – Extends liability protection to a premises owner or franchisor
  • Damage to premises rented to you – Helps pay for repairs if you accidentally damage a rented or leased space

It is important to note that garage liability insurance does not cover vehicles left in your care for service or repair. That’s where garagekeepers legal liability comes in.

GARAGEKEEPERS LEGAL LIABILITY

No matter your specialty—mechanical repairs, bodywork, or custom installations—people trust you with their vehicles. Garagekeepers legal liability insurance helps pay for damage to customer vehicles while in your care, custody, or control and reinforces your commitment to safeguarding their property.

AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE BUSINESSES WE INSURE

Garage liability insurance and garagekeepers legal liability insurance each offer important protection. Together, they provide more complete coverage against daily shop risks.
