Prices for some cars and auto parts aren't the only things that are likely to go up with auto tariffs, which are expected to go into effect on April 2. Add auto insurance to that list, too. Starting April 2, President Donald Trump is set to impose a 25% tariff on imported passenger vehicles, light trucks and some auto parts.
