Garage Insurance

Your new mechanic just finished up a brake job and is taking the customers car out for a test drive. He is paying so much attention to whether or not the brakes are making any noise that he rear ends the car in front of him at a stop light.

The winter months bring snow and slippery sidewalks. The first customer of the morning slips on some ice while walking into your shop. They now have back injuries.

You show up to work and notice the door was forced open. Upon examination someone broke into the shop overnight and stole thousands of dollars worth of tools. To add insult to injury you have a full day of customers you need to take care of but have no tools.
