USA Business Insurance has introduced new insurance coverage for auto repair and mechanic shop owners.

According to the company, the new packages are customized on levels specific enough to cover all aspects of liability for both the business owner and clientele. The new coverage is for “both the liability responsibility and physical damage caused to customers' vehicles while in the care of the repair or mechanic shop.”

The company said that the new garage keepers insurance protects the business owner in case of theft or even if a client's vehicle is damaged due to a mechanic's negligence. Whether or not the vehicle has auto insurance on its own, the company said, the new insurance would offer collision coverage based on the limits selected to be the primary insurer in case of an accident while the vehicle is in possession of a mechanic or auto dealer shop.
