Business insurance

Insurance for Brake and Clutch Specialists

A brake and clutch workshop carries real risk: a vehicle you've worked on goes back on the road, and the brakes are safety-critical. Most specialists carry public liability, and faulty-workmanship or motor-trade cover matters because a comeback on a brake job is not a minor complaint. You also need to protect the hoist, brake lathe, tools and the customer cars sitting on your premises.

With a typical premium around $1,300 and many policies renewing near 30 June, it's worth reviewing cover before the new financial year. Cockatoo helps you compare and matches you to the right insurance partner for a motor-trade workshop.

Common questions

Brake and Clutch Specialists — insurance questions

What insurance does a brake and clutch workshop need?

Most workshops carry public liability, motor-trade or faulty-workmanship cover (important given brakes are safety-critical), and protection for your tools, hoist and equipment. If you have apprentices or mechanics on the books, workers' compensation is also required. Cover for customer vehicles on your premises is commonly included too.

Why does my premium reflect the safety-critical nature of the work?

Brake and clutch repairs directly affect whether a vehicle stops safely, so insurers price the comeback risk into motor-trade policies. Keeping clean job records, following torque and bleeding procedures, and documenting your work all support your position if a claim ever arises. A typical premium sits around the $1,300 mark.
