The General® Insurance Launches The General Garage, Powered by CarAdvise

The General Garage, powered by CarAdvise, will be made available at no cost to all policyholders of The General as part of roadside assistance coverage.

The digital platform helps users locate a repair shop, schedule service, approve work and pay, all from a smartphone.
