Market Spotlight: Garage

It is not an easy time to be in an auto-related business of any kind. Various forces are at play that make this a particularly risky time for auto dealers, auto repair shops, parking garages, car washes and towing companies. It's a time when they definitely need specialized insurance coverage in place. Catalytic converters are being stolen at a record rate across the country from cars parked at car dealers, body shops, service stations and parking garages. Supply chain problems with parts and supplies mean repairs may be started but not completed and vehicles end up staying in shops longer, testing the patience and wallets of shop owners and their customers. There are also delays and mistakes because employers are facing a shortage of qualified technicians. The inflated cost of parts is also raising temperatures. Employers are also being more closely scrutinized for their employment practices including proper classification of independent contractors and pay for workers. If these businesses are sued, perhaps over an injury in a car wash or by a disgruntled employee, the cases can be costly due social inflation that is driving up defense costs and liability settlements. All in all, it is not a time to be without protection. While garage keepers insurance covers the damages or loss of a car while located at the insured's place of business for reasons that are not related to garage operations, garage liability insurance protects the insured should their customer's car obtain damage due to the operations of the garage.
