Built for Your Industry

Insurance Expertise Born in the Garage Industry

We avoid the generic approach. Our agency has been meticulously designed to concentrate solely on one industry... yours.

Why We Started Garage Sentinel

With 50+ years of experience and one clear mission: give auto and truck repair shops the insurance experience they deserve. We saw too many shop owners stuck with generic policies that didn't understand their risks, their equipment, or their day-to-day operations.

One Industry, Total Focus

We're not a generalist agency. We focus exclusively on automotive service businesses, from collision repair and RV shops to heavy truck facilities and parts distributors. That focus means we know exactly what coverage you need and where the gaps are.

Serving Shops Across 40+ States

Whether you're on the east coast, the west coast, or in any of our 40+ states, we bring the same level of expertise and dedication to every shop we serve. Our job is to find the best rates, build the right policy, and make sure your business is protected from the ground up.

Mike is an excellent insurance agent. He always follows through on his commitments and when I call or email he gets back to me quickly to let me know an answer or that he is working on finding me an answer. He is very personable and works hard to assist his clients. I would recommend Mike Vanlue for your business insurance needs.
