Why this class matters to Coterie

Automotive Parts and Accessories Stores ranks #51 on Coterie’s Top 100 classes list (December 2025), so this is a business type Coterie actively writes.

Typical risks

For auto parts and accessories stores, common claims include heavy parts falling, oil on floors and parking lot injuries. Landlords usually require GL in the lease, and every shopper is a potential premises claim.

GL and BOP, explained

General liability covers third-party bodily injury, property damage and, for most classes, personal and advertising injury. Per-occurrence limits are $300K, $500K, $1M or $2M, with aggregates at twice that, and the policy includes medical payments and damage to rented premises.

A BOP protects inventory, fixtures and outdoor signs and adds business income if a covered loss closes the store. A business owner’s policy combines liability, property and business income in one policy.

Before you quote

Coterie’s appetite excludes used parts, tire and wheel sales, salvage yards, installation in vehicles and repair work. Garagekeepers coverage isn’t available. Across all classes, Coterie generally accepts up to $10M in revenue and 50 employees, one location per policy, no more than two losses in five years (none over $15K) and no prior cancellations or non-renewals. Home-based and newer businesses are welcome.
