Mechanic Insurance Protects Your Interests
Mechanics are people who love automobiles and more or less choose this profession just to stay close to, touch, lovingly repair and get a chance to drive cars of different kinds. All of them dream of setting up an independent garage and being their own boss.
A garage is the place where repairs are carried out on the plethora of things that can go wrong with a vehicle, to be on the road once again. These repairs can either be of a minor or major nature. Who would bear the responsibility for repairs to any damage of the vehicle, while it is in the process of being repaired in the garage, or being road tested, after being repaired? Obviously it has to be repaired by the garage itself.
A minor kind of damage need not be worried about. But in severe cases, the garage may well need to incur heavy expenditure, and in extreme cases, even have to replace the vehicle itself. This can be a very heavy drain on the profits and may result in the closure of a small garage.
Payment to customers, and all legal fees incurred while settling a dispute for such kind of eventualities, are covered with mechanic insurance, which is offered as a package within the overall ambit of motor trade insurance. This policy covers not only the actions or damages resulting in the actions of mechanics, working either full time or part time in fixed garages, but also the free spirited independent mobile mechanics, including their cars. It is uniquely different from dealer insurance, as the mechanic insurance covers all the customer's cars that the mechanic may be required to work on, or drive, during the duration of the policy, and includes their own car in which they would be travelling to attend to these repairs.
One is also responsible for any damage that has occurred as a result of any work, or action of one's employee, in the same garage. For instance, a mechanic employed in your garage while on their way to the spares store, walks by a car under repair with a large screwdriver in hand. Purely by accident they hit the windshield with the dangling screwdriver and the windshield now falls, shattered into thousands of glass fragments.
Now the customer may well allow you to replace the windshield at your expenditure, or they may decide to take punitive legal action against you. While the replacement of the windshield would have eaten away into your profits, a legal proceeding and its resultant award, has the potential to wipe you out of business. This is where mechanic insurance comes in to cover this type of expenditure.
The premium for this policy is quite reasonable and is dependent on a variety of issues, including the type of vehicle that the mechanic owns. So if the mechanic owns a simple cheap car, they can pay within £300 for a fully comprehensive policy, which also covers all customers' cars.
