General Liability

Bought by most store owners

General liability is often the first type of insurance for tire repair shops that owners buy. General liability is intended to provide coverage for accidental injury or damage to other people or their property. For example, if a customer slips on some spilled coffee in the waiting area and breaks their ankle, your insurance could help pay for emergency treatment and medical costs. Note that this is an example and may not reflect the terms of your specific policy. It’s always a good idea to refer to the coverage details in your own policy.

Medical payments

Property damage

How does business insurance protect tire shop owners?

Our tire shop liability insurance packages are designed to protect your business from a variety of risks and help you save money to grow your business. It can help protect you from financial losses related to:

Customer injuries

A customer slips on spilled water in the waiting room and sustains a concussion. General liability can help with medical expenses if someone other than an employee gets hurt.**

Damage to vehicles at your shop

An employee backs a customer’s car out of the bay and into a post in the parking lot. Our optional garagekeepers coverage (which can be included with general liability) can help pay for repairs to the customer’s car.

Workplace injuries

An employee’s hand gets caught between a tire and a demounting tool, causing his thumb to be amputated. Workers’ compensation coverage can help cover medical bills and lost wages — not to mention it’s usually required by law if you have employees.
