Majority of CA Cars at Problematic Age | Garage Insurance Product Highlight
Published on January 14, 2019
Most people don’t think about where their local trustworthy auto repair garage is until they need one. But chances are, your community has more than a few. Why is that? Because we are a driving society, and where there are cars, there are also cars that need fixing.
According to Consumer Reports, the average life expectancy of a new vehicle these days is around 8 years or 150,000 miles. Of course, some well-built vehicles can go 15 years and 300,000, if properly maintained.
Even so, the 2018 report from the California Bureau of Automative Repair (BAR) — which includes all cars that had smog tests done in 2017 in CA — shows that 65% of the more than 11 million cars tested from that year are between 10-20 years old.
That shows that a large majority of car owners in California own vehicles which are statically past their prime, and may often need the services of auto shops for repair.
Now, ask yourself, if Auto Repair Garage’s have such a staple foothold in our communities because of this supply and demand, why are you not insuring more (or any) of them?
Time to change that. Abram Interstate can help you with great markets for your Garage Insurance risks. Become the go-to insurance agent for risks like these in your community. We can help.
