RUN BY A CAR GUY,
NOT A CALL CENTER.
I'm Michael Canepa. I've been building engines, welding frames, and restoring cars since I was 16.
Redline insures the shops I come from: the builders, the painters, the wrap artists, the race shops, the restorers.
When you call, you get me, not a queue.
English or Spanish. (818) 823-5778.

OUR MISSION
PROTECT WHAT YOU'VE BUILT.
Your shop. Your equipment. Your customers' cars. The business you've spent years building.
Redline is an independent brokerage insuring auto shops across California, with a specialty in custom, performance, and restoration builds and race shops.
We also place motorsports and track risks through the specialty markets built for them.
We shop multiple carriers instead of quoting one, tell you what each policy actually covers, and write limits for what's really sitting in your bays and on your lot. English and Spanish, directly with the agent.
