The Risks You Face in Your Shop

The automotive trade has exposures that no generic policy covers well. These are the risks we help you prepare for:

Damage to a Customer’s Vehicle

A customer’s car gets damaged, catches fire, or is stolen while it’s in your shop. With Garage Keepers, you protect the vehicles in your care and make things right without the cost coming out of your pocket.

Faulty Repair Work

A repair that fails later and causes an accident or new damage can turn into a serious claim. The right coverage helps you answer for the work you delivered.

Damage During Detailing

A scratch, a product that damages the paint or interior, or a part affected during a wash can lead to a customer claim. With the right coverage, you protect your business against those cases.

Fire from Chemicals and Solvents

Solvents, oils, and flammable materials make fire a constant risk in a shop. Property coverage helps you recover your equipment and your space without stalling your operation.

Customer Injuries on Your Premises

A customer who slips or gets hurt inside your shop can lead to medical bills and lawsuits. With Garage Liability, you protect your business against those claims.

Staff Injuries

Lifts, heavy tools, and powered equipment make bumps, burns, and strains part of the day. With Workers’ Compensation, you protect your team and limit the financial hit to your business.

Coverage Built for Repair Shops and Detailing

Every Auto Repair and Detailing Business works differently. We bring together the coverages that fit your operation, whether you repair vehicles, detail them in a shop, provide mobile services, or care for customer cars while they are in your hands.

Garage Liability

The liability foundation for automotive businesses. Built for repair shops, detailing centers, and auto service operations. It helps cover claims for injuries, third-party damage, and incidents tied to the day-to-day running of the business.

Workers’ Compensation

Covers your mechanics and detailers if they’re injured on the job, and in many cases it’s required to operate legally.

Business Owner’s Policy

Combines key protections for your shop, including business property, liability, and business interruption coverage for certain covered events.

Commercial Auto

Protects your business vehicles, including the ones you use to pick up or drop off customers’ cars.

Garage Keepers

The key coverage for this trade. It protects your customers’ vehicles against damage, fire, theft, or vandalism while they’re in your care, at your shop or lot.

Tools and Equipment

Helps protect the tools and equipment your shop depends on, including diagnostic scanners, toolboxes, compressors, lifts, and repair equipment.

Auto Repair & Detailing Insurance FAQs

What insurance does an Auto Repair Shop need in South Carolina?

The foundation is usually Garage Liability for your operations and Garage Keepers for your customers’ vehicles while they’re in your care. If you have employees, you add Workers’ Comp, and many businesses add coverage for their space and equipment. We review your situation and build the coverage you need.

What is Garage Keepers and why do I need it?

It’s the coverage that protects your customers’ vehicles while they’re at your shop or lot. If a car in your care gets damaged, catches fire, or is stolen, Garage Keepers helps you make things right without the cost coming out of your pocket. It’s the most important coverage in this trade.

Is insurance for a Detailing Business different from an Auto Repair Shop?

They can share coverages like Garage Liability, Garage Keepers, and Workers’ Comp, but the policy is built around your operation. The difference comes down to what can go wrong in each business and what you need to protect: Your customers’ cars, your tools, your equipment, your space, your employees, or the work you do outside your shop (if that applies). So even though both are part of the automotive trade, the coverage isn’t always built the same way.

How much does Insurance for a Repair Shop or Detailing Business cost?

It depends on the services you offer, how many vehicles you handle at once, the size of your team, your space, and your coverage limits. At Omega, we compare carriers that specialize in the trade to find coverage that fits your budget.

If something happens to a Customer’s Car, which Coverage Responds?

In most cases, the coverage that responds is Garage Keepers, because it’s built to protect your customers’ vehicles while they’re in your care. The key is choosing the right limits based on how many cars you handle, where you keep them, and the approximate value of those vehicles. At Omega, we review your operation to help you close that gap before it becomes a problem.
