FAQs

Common Questions from Auto Repair Shops Businesses

Does commercial property cover automotive lifts and diagnostic equipment?

Yes. Lifts, scan tools, diagnostic computers, and other shop equipment can be covered under commercial property for fire, theft, and other covered perils.

What about parts inventory in my shop?

Parts and supplies inventory is covered under the business personal property portion of your commercial property policy.

Does commercial property insurance cover flood or earthquake damage?

Standard commercial property policies typically exclude flood and earthquake damage. Separate coverage is available and may be worth considering depending on your location. A licensed agent can help you assess your exposure and find appropriate coverage.

What's the difference between replacement cost and actual cash value?

Replacement cost coverage pays what it costs to replace or rebuild damaged property at today's prices, without depreciation. Actual cash value accounts for depreciation, meaning you may receive less for older items or equipment. For most businesses, replacement cost is the preferred option.
