#1: FALSE. Garage liability insurance is meant to cover bodily injury and property damage occurring as a result of operations but excluding owned and nonowned vehicles. Garagekeepers liability insurance is designed to cover vehicles that are owned by you for sale or owned by OTHERS and taken in your shop (such as repair shops, carwashes, etc.) for repairs or consignment sale.

#2: TRUE. Also, just for informational purposes—False pretense coverage is generally offered as an endorsement.

#3: TRUE. Generally, there is specific language that is used in most garagekeepers liability insurance policies, such as: “We will pay all sums the insured legally must pay as damages for loss to a customer’s autos.” The term “customer’s autos” pertains to land vehicles, rather than floatation devices. It is always best to ask about additional coverage when housing and performing operations on any kind of watercraft.

#4: FALSE. This is not true in many cases! If your shop uses a computer system, you may be at risk for a data breach or dozens of other cyber related scams. Cyber liability insurance can designed to respond to many of these attacks which can lead to this type of loss.
