Equipment Exposures

Automobile Services

More than ever, cars rely on computers and so do the facilities that service them. Increased reliance on advanced technology means auto service facilities - and their owners - are more vulnerable to equipment breakdown. Modern electronic equipment is more sensitive and more susceptible to damage and breakdown. It's expensive equipment to repair or replace and revenue will be lost while it's out of commission.

Diagnostic systems and test apparatus, air and hydraulic lifts, air-operated tools and compressors, car wash systems and reach-in coolers are some of the equipment commonly found in auto service locations.
