Michael Canepa
Founder, Redline Insurance Agency
Redline started with cars. Michael Canepa has spent his life building, restoring, and obsessing over them, and that's where the agency began: insuring the cars enthusiasts actually care about, and the shops that build them. Along the way something became obvious. The thing Michael understood best wasn't just cars. It was what it takes to run a business, because he was running one.
Today Redline is built around small business owners. Michael is one, so he knows what it means to sign a lease, make payroll, and carry the risk everyone else gets to clock out from. That's the difference between an agent who quotes your policy and a broker who understands your operation.
We write three things, and we write them well: Business, Auto, and Home.
Business. General liability, workers comp, property, commercial auto, and specialty coverage for restaurants, auto shops, contractors, medical and behavioral health practices, landlords, and just about any owner-operated business. Structured right the first time so you stay open and stay working.
Auto. From modified daily drivers and resto-mods to exotics, hypercars, and appreciating classics. Agreed value coverage that pays what your car is actually worth, not what a standard carrier decides.
Home. New purchases that need coverage bound by your escrow close date, hard-to-place and high-value homes, and bundles with your auto that usually save on both.
We're independent, which means we're not tied to one company. We shop multiple carriers and tell you exactly what you're buying and what you're not. Most owners we review are overpaying, underinsured, or both, and don't find out until a claim.
Based in Toluca Lake, serving Toluca Lake, Burbank, Studio City, and Sherman Oaks. Bilingual, English y Español. Same-day certificates, real answers, and one person who actually picks up the phone.
Whatever you've built, Redline is built to protect it.

Collette Canepa
Operations & Client Support
Collette is a pilot. Has been for years. She's also the operational backbone of Redline Insurance Agency, and those two things aren't a coincidence.
In aviation, preparation is what separates a routine flight from a disaster. Checklists matter. Cross-references matter. Small oversights at 10,000 feet become big problems on the ground. That same discipline is what she brings to every certificate, every endorsement, every policy file, and every compliance requirement at Redline.
Behind every fast quote and every clean certificate, there's structure. Collette is the structure.
