Business insurance

Insurance for Mechanics

A workshop is a busy, hazardous place — hoists, hot work, customer cars and road tests all carry risk. Public liability covers injury and property damage on the premises, while you also need cover for customers' vehicles in your custody, including during test drives. Add faulty-workmanship and product exposure, because a repair that fails can cause real harm, plus contents cover for tools and stock and workers' compensation for your mechanics. With many policies renewing around 30 June, review your cover before the new financial year so a gap does not catch you out.

Common questions

Mechanics — insurance questions

Am I covered for customers' cars in my care?

You need to be — vehicles in your custody, on the hoist or out on a test drive are a key exposure. Make sure your policy covers damage to customer cars while they are in your control, not just your own premises.

What about a repair that fails later?

That is where faulty-workmanship and product liability cover matters. If a job you completed leads to a fault, breakdown or accident down the track, this cover helps protect you against the resulting claim.
