For auto repair shops

Our program packs more coverage under the hood Our Deluxe Insurance Program for Auto Repair Shops gives you a richer blend of insurance coverage than most garage policies you’ll find. Our package includes the special coverages you need for your business, plus you can add plenty of optional coverages and related life insurance protection. The result is a unique business owners package that is very good for your business. Whether you deal strictly in repair work, or offer one-stop convenience shopping complete with fuel pumps and car wash facilities, our program comes equipped with the coverage you need.

If you’d like to learn more about this special program, contact an agent in your area. Or, get in touch with our office nearest you.

Bumper-to-bumper property protection We provide solid insurance protection for your buildings and pump islands, canopies, above- and below-ground fuel tanks (and their contents), compressors, lifts and practically every item your business may own or hold in its care. Your property is insured on a replacement cost basis—with no coinsurance penalties—against fire, explosion, damage from vehicles (other than yours), burglary and robbery, and most other causes of loss.

We also provide unlimited business income and extra expense coverage for up to a full year. Within that year, we’ll continue coverage for up to 30 days after repairs are complete if your income has not returned to normal levels.

Life insurance to protect you and your business

  • Key employee coverage Designed to protect your business upon the loss of a key employee. Funds can be used to find, hire and train a replacement, as well as compensate for lost business during the transaction.
  • Simplified pension plans Owners of small businesses can turn to either a SEP-IRA or a Simple IRA to get the benefits of a qualified pension plan without the higher administrative costs and paperwork hassles.
  • Debt protection This coverage can secure the funds needed to pay off a company’s debt upon the death of an owner, helping the business continue as a viable entity during this difficult time.
  • Non-qualified executive plans A business may want to reward key people in the organization with such executive plans as deferred compensation, executive bonus and split dollar coverage. Each plan rewards the executive while tying them more closely to the continued success of the business.
