Understanding Tesla Body Repair

Tesla body repair is the process of restoring an electric vehicle’s structure, panels, sensors, and finish with manufacturer-grade precision. Because Teslas use aluminum and high-strength steel, traditional repair methods do not apply. Specialized tools, controlled environments, and EV-safe procedures are required to ensure safety and accuracy.

At Auto Body Unlimited, we evaluate every part of the vehicle’s condition to determine the best repair strategy. Tesla damage often affects structural points, battery-adjacent components, or ADAS sensors. Our technicians inspect both visible and hidden areas to make sure every system functions correctly after repair.

Understanding Tesla repair requires knowledge of materials, coatings, and electronics. We match paint using high-resolution color technology, model-specific formulas, and clear-coat systems designed for Tesla’s unique finishes.

Common Tesla body repairs include:

• Aluminum panel repair and replacement

• Paintless dent removal for EV-safe applications

• Bumper, door, and quarter panel restoration

• Paint and clear-coat refinishing

• Tesla Autopilot sensor calibration

• Glass, trim, and weatherstrip replacement

• Structural correction for high-strength materials

Our Tesla Body Repair Process

Tesla body repair requires a controlled, step-by-step process to preserve safety systems, structural accuracy, and high-voltage components. At Auto Body Unlimited, we treat every EV as a precision-based restoration project, ensuring flawless results that meet the highest standards.

1. Tesla Evaluation and Digital Diagnostics

The repair process begins with a full-system inspection. We assess panel damage, structural points, battery-adjacent areas, and ADAS sensors using factory-level diagnostic tools. You receive a written estimate with clear explanations of the work, materials, and timeline.

2. Safe Disassembly and Damage Verification

Once approved, the vehicle is disassembled carefully to protect wiring, cameras, and structural components. This step helps reveal any hidden damage that may affect safety or alignment. All findings are documented to ensure an accurate rebuild.

3. Structural and Panel Repair

Tesla body structures require specialized aluminum tools and EV-safe equipment. We restore the original shape and alignment using precision measurement systems. When replacement parts are needed, we use Tesla-approved or OE-grade components to maintain strength and performance.

4. Surface Preparation and Factory-Match Refinishing

After structural work is complete, the refinishing process begins. Tesla paint requires controlled application to achieve the correct texture and tone. We use advanced color-matching systems and apply paint in a climate-controlled environment to ensure finish depth, clarity, and long-term durability.

5. Reassembly and System Calibration

Your Tesla is reassembled with careful attention to panel alignment, trim fitment, and aerodynamic consistency. We then recalibrate cameras, sensors, and Autopilot-related systems to ensure accurate functionality. A full quality inspection is performed to confirm structural integrity and finish quality.

How Long Tesla Body Repair Takes

Tesla repair times vary depending on the extent of the damage and the availability of model-specific parts. Most repairs take between five and ten business days. Minor cosmetic repairs may take one to three days, while structural repairs involving aluminum or sensor recalibration may require additional time.

You receive a projected completion date before work begins and regular progress updates throughout the process. Every repair is completed carefully to ensure your Tesla leaves with a flawless appearance and full system accuracy.

Tesla Body Repair Costs

The cost of Tesla body repair depends on the severity of the damage, the materials required, and whether sensors or advanced systems need recalibration. Minor repairs may range from 300 to 900 dollars. Larger multi-panel or structural repairs range from 1,500 to 8,000 dollars or more depending on the model and repair complexity.

All estimates are transparent and include a breakdown of parts, labor, and refinishing. If your repair is part of an insurance claim, we coordinate directly with your provider to ensure proper approval and coverage.

Investing in correct Tesla repair protects your vehicle’s resale value, appearance, structural integrity, and onboard safety systems.
