Tesla & EV Body Shop in Los Angeles

Most EV work we see in Los Angeles is the same as on any car: rear-end hits in freeway traffic, bumper and fender damage from parking structures, scraped doors and quarter panels. What changes is how carefully each part has to be removed and refitted, because EVs pack sensors, cameras and wiring into the bumpers, mirrors and door panels.

We repair and replace bumper covers and reinforcements (see bumper repair), fix door and fender dents with paintless dent repair when the aluminum and paint allow it (see dent repair), and handle structural damage on the frame bench with measurement against factory dimensions (see frame repair).

Tesla and other EV makers use colors that are hard to match well, including multi-coat reds, deep metallic blues and pearl whites. A panel sprayed straight from the paint code can look right in the booth and wrong in daylight. We read the actual color on your car with a spectrophotometer, mix it by computer, spray test cards to compare against the car, and blend the new color into the neighboring panels.

EVs rely heavily on cameras and sensors for parking, lane keeping and driver-assistance features. Many of them sit in the bumpers, side mirrors, fender repeaters and windshield area that take the damage in a collision. After repair we reinstall each component in its correct position, check that the car reports no faults and confirm the camera views before you pick up the car.
