Auto Body Shop Insurance

Running a collision repair center in British Columbia comes with significant liability and operational risks. From storing high-value customer vehicles to operating specialized painting and welding equipment, your shop needs comprehensive protection that standard business policies simply cannot provide.

At InsureLine Alder, our Managing Directors Gurtaj Bahad (CIP, CAIB) and Michael Puni (Level 2 Insurance Broker) bring over 25 years of combined experience to your corner. Having managed day-to-day operations for $15 million commercial portfolios, we know exactly what it takes to protect BC’s auto body shops against property damage, theft, and third-party liabilities.

We are proud members of the IBABC and actively serve the community from our King George Blvd office in Surrey. Whether you need specialized ICBC Autoplan and business insurance, commercial property coverage for your hoists, or protection for customer cars left overnight, we tailor the exact insurance scope your specific operation demands.

  • Customer vehicle damage
  • Paint booth fires
  • Employee tool theft
  • Faulty repair claims
  • Customer slip injuries

When structuring your auto body insurance portfolio, we begin with an intensive initial discovery discussion to audit your current policy and pinpoint dangerous coverage gaps. We carefully analyze your lot security, employee driving records, and daily vehicle counts to ensure your ICBC Autoplan and commercial policies match your exact exposure levels.

Next, we employ a multi-carrier market search technique, presenting your shop’s risk profile to our vast network of specialized commercial underwriters like Intact and Aviva. By highlighting your proactive safety measures—such as proper paint booth ventilation and secure key storage—we negotiate aggressively to drive down your premiums while maximizing liability limits.

Finally, we finalize your coverage through detailed quote comparisons, educating you on every option in clear, layman terms. As your business grows, we conduct mandatory reviews at every renewal, ensuring your protection scales seamlessly with your increasing revenues and equipment upgrades.

    I had a wonderful experience getting my insurance done from them. Gurtaj and Michael went out of their way to help me as my previous insurance brokers got my mom’s insurance messed up. I am glad that I went to them. I highly recommend them if you want any kind of insurance without any hassle.
