After announcing two months ago that it would be opening its own company-owned body shops in the top 10 metro areas by the end of June, Tesla now has Tesla Body Repair Centers open for light collision repair in the following cities:
- Bellevue, Wash.
- Dallas, Texas
- Eatonville, Fla.
- Houston, Texas
- Las Vegas, Nev.
- Marietta, Ga.
- Owings Mills, Md.
- Van Nuys, Calif.
- Villa Park, Ill.
Tesla is telling its customers that if a Tesla Body Repair Center is unavailable to repair their vehicle, they will be directed to a third-party body shop in the Tesla-Approved Body Shop Network.
“We demand the highest standards from our Approved Body Shop Network through rigorous training and assessment of all the technicians that will work on your vehicle,” a statement on Tesla’s website reads. “Their aluminum welding capability is evaluated to ensure all safety critical welded joints can be guaranteed to meet our OEM specifications, along with the adhesive and mechanical jointing technology used in the construction of your Tesla vehicle. The repair of your Roadster is also fully supported by the Approved Body Shop network.”
