What's different about an EV
- High voltage: the battery and cables are treated with care during teardown and repair, following the manufacturer's procedures.
- Sensors and cameras: driver-assist systems often need calibration after bumper, windshield or structural work.
- Structure: many EVs use aluminum and large cast parts, where the manufacturer's repair instructions decide what can be repaired and what must be replaced.
- Weight: EVs are heavy, so even a "small" hit can damage suspension parts and mounts.
Tesla Insurance and other insurers
Insured with Tesla Insurance? You can file the claim in the Tesla app. See how a Tesla Insurance claim works. Any other insurer works the same way: you choose the shop.
Insurance claim or paying yourself
With insurance, we work with your adjuster directly: photos, estimate and supplements for hidden damage. In California you choose the shop, not your insurer (here's how). Paying yourself? Send photos on WhatsApp and get a written estimate before any work starts.
Real repairs from our shop
Not stock photos. These cars came through our gate on Merchant St.
