Business insurance

Insurance for Shock Absorber and Suspension Specialists

A suspension workshop carries the usual automotive risks plus the specifics of heavy components and customers' vehicles in your care. Public liability covers injury or property damage on site, while motor trade and customers' vehicle cover protects cars while they are in your custody for work. Add tool and equipment cover for hoists, alignment gear and compressors, products liability for the work you fit, and workers' compensation for your team. With premiums often near $1,300 and many policies renewing around 30 June, review your cover before the new financial year.

Common questions

Shock Absorber and Suspension Specialists — insurance questions

Do I need cover for customers' cars in the workshop?

Yes — motor trade or customers' vehicle cover protects cars while they are in your custody for repair or upgrade. Damage to a customer's vehicle on your premises is a real exposure that standard policies may not cover.

Is products liability worth it for fitted suspension?

It is worth considering — if a suspension component you supplied or fitted fails, products liability helps cover the resulting claim. Cockatoo can help match you to a broker who understands motor trade risk.
