Why Essex County shops need auto repair shop insurance
Essex County's many auto repair and body shops, from Newark outward, need garage liability and garagekeepers protection for vehicles in their care. Standard business policies don't cover customer vehicles in your care — that's what garagekeepers coverage is for, and it's the gap most shops miss.
