Garagekeepers coverage offers three options:
- Legal Liability covers mechanic's negligence: This means if your mechanic wrecks the car or you forgot to lock the car and it's vandalized, then you are covered.
- Direct Primary: This means your client's vehicle is protected, whether the damage is due to mechanic's negligence, theft that is not attributed to negligence, or extreme weather loss.
- Direct Excess: This coverage is basically the same as "direct primary" coverage. It protects the client's vehicle no matter who is at fault. The difference is that it is to be paid only in excess of any amount collectible under the owner’s policy if the insured cannot be held legally liable.

What does a garage keepers insurance policy cover?
How to figure how much garage keepers insurance you will need:
A: What is the average cost of the vehicles that you work on?
B: What is the average number of vehicles that you have in your shop at any given time?
Multiply A x B to get the total coverage that you need. So, if the average car is $25,000 and you have 7 cars on hand at any given time, then you will need a $175,000 garage keepers insurance policy.
