Business insurance
Insurance for Auto Electricians
An auto electrical workshop carries the usual motor-trade risks plus the value of expensive diagnostic gear. You need public liability for customers and vehicles on your premises, motor trade cover for vehicles in your care and control, contents and equipment cover for tools and scan equipment, and workers' compensation if you have staff. Faulty-workmanship exposure matters too, since a wiring or component error can cause real damage.
With premiums often near $1,300 and many policies renewing around 30 June, it is worth a review before each year. Cockatoo helps you get organised ahead of renewal and matches you to a broker who understands the motor trade, so your tools, your premises and the vehicles you work on are all properly covered.
Common questions
Auto Electricians — insurance questions
What insurance does an auto electrician need?
Typically public liability, motor trade cover for customer vehicles in your care, contents and equipment cover for your diagnostic gear and tools, and workers' compensation if you employ staff. Cover for faulty workmanship is worth discussing given the nature of electrical work.
Are my scan tools and diagnostic gear covered?
Only if your policy specifically includes them at the right value, and mobile operators need cover for gear in the van too. Because this equipment is costly, check your sums insured at renewal, which for many is around 30 June.
