ISO Market Segments Program
Summary: Insurance Services Office (ISO) has developed a market segments program providing specialized coverages for certain specialty insurance markets. This program offers “wrap-around” endorsements that are used to enhance the coverages provided by standard coverage forms, like the commercial property and general liability forms.
Eligible risks for the auto services segment include: repair shops; service stations; and storage garages and other public parking places. The ISO commercial lines manual (CLM) lists the following classifications as eligible for this program:
a. Automobile Quick Lubrication Services;
b. Automobile Repair or Service Shops;
c. Automobile Repair Shops – self-service;
d. Automobile Rust proofing;
e. Automobile Storage;
f. Car Washes – self-service;
g. Convenience Food/Gasoline Stores – full service;
h. Convenience Food/Gasoline Stores – self-service;

j. Car Washes – other than self-service;
k. Gasoline Stations – full service;
l. Gasoline Stations – self-service;
m. Gasoline Stations – self and full service combined;
