What insurance do I need to consider as a car mechanic?

A car mechanic’s daily operations can be extensive and ever changing. As careful as you may be, you’re still exposed to accidents and errors – making comprehensive mechanic insurance crucial to consider for your business.

Public liability is also important to consider for protection against accidental injuries or third-party property damage claims.

Marsh can help you arrange the insurance you need – so you won’t find yourself in a fix.

Frequently asked questions

From diagnosing and repairing engine faults to completing logbook services, your day-to-day operations and activities are varied and many.

But no matter how experienced or careful you are, you’re exposed to risks every day.

What’s more, if you accidentally injure a client or damage their car while servicing it, you may be liable to compensate them for any repair, medical and even legal costs incurred. 

Also, if you’re renting a garage or any other premises, your property owner may not approve your lease application until they see your public liability certificate of currency.

The cost of your insurance will depend on several factors – including your business size, revenue and services provided.   

You can request a callback to speak to a Marsh advisor for a clearer picture.  

Yes. If your business meets certain criteria, we can arrange monthly instalments* through premium funders.
