Auto insurance companies do check your credit and do a soft pull on your credit when you get auto insurance quotes or sign up for auto insurance.
Auto insurance companies will also periodically through the year or at least once a year check your credit in some cases and determine your rates of auto insurance based on that as well.
Insurance companies do use credit scores when determining your insurance rates and premiums.
The insurance company whether for auto insurance, home insurance, life insurance etc will all look up your credit history and use that along with your insurance score to determine how much of a risk you are and how much you will pay for your insurance.
The higher your credit score and better your credit history the lower your insurance premiums will often be and the lower your credit score and worse off your credit history the higher your insurance premiums will be.
An insurance score is calculated based on your credit score and your payment history, credit history length, any outstanding debt, pursuit of new credit and credit mix.
Your credit based insurance score can be improved by making payments on time and not defaulting on loans and credit cards, mortgages etc.

Paying car insurance monthly does not build credit.
You can pay your car insurance, monthly every few months or annually or whichever way you prefer or what ever way your insurance company allows you to pay.
Car insurance or auto insurance will not build your credit.
Although if you do default on your monthly car or auto insurance payments it may or may not lower your credit score.
Although defaulting on your car insurance or auto insurance payments can lead to a lower insurance score which can make you pay higher car or auto insurance premiums.
But paying monthly, yearly every few months etc has no effect on your credit score.
I prefer to pay my auto insurance or car insurance yearly though as I pay it once a year and don't have to worry about forgetting to pay the auto insurance.
I have done that before and only found out when I got pulled over and I thought I had current auto insurance but a few months went by and I was canceled.
So now I pay the auto insurance yearly so I ensure I have auto insurance.
