Business insurance
Insurance for Diesel Mechanics
Diesel workshops carry real exposure: public liability for customers and the public, property and contents cover for the workshop, valuable tools and diagnostic gear, and cover for customer vehicles in your care, custody and control. Faulty repair claims point to professional or product-related cover, and with staff on the tools, workers' compensation is required.
Premiums for a workshop commonly sit around $1,300 a year, with many policies renewing near 30 June, so the new financial year is a sensible time to review. Cockatoo helps you match to a broker who understands heavy-vehicle and mechanical-trade risk.
Common questions
Diesel Mechanics — insurance questions
What insurance does a diesel workshop need?
Public liability, property and contents cover, tool and equipment cover, and cover for customer vehicles in your care are core, plus workers' compensation for staff. Faulty-work exposure also matters. Cockatoo helps you find a broker who understands the trade.
Does my cover include customer vehicles on site?
It should, since vehicles in your care, custody and control are a specific exposure not always covered by a basic policy. It is worth confirming at renewal, commonly around 30 June. Cockatoo helps you compare options that include it.
