Frequently Asked Questions

What is garagekeepers insurance?

Garagekeepers covers customer vehicles while they are in your care — parked in your lot, being serviced, or stored overnight. If a customer's car is damaged or stolen while at your shop, garagekeepers pays the claim. Most auto repair shops and dealers need this coverage.

Do I need a dealer supplement to get quoted?

Most carriers require a completed dealer supplement application for auto dealerships. We make this process easy — our intake system collects everything you need to submit to underwriters quickly.
