The 2016 Tesla Model S: Auto repair
For your 2016 Tesla Model S, body repair starts with a short request. This is body repair. Mechanical work such as engines, brakes and oil changes is not part of it.
About your Model S
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. Mention the trim and options, so we plan around sensors and trim pieces. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Getting a price
If the job turns out larger, we ask you before doing more. You can add a rental to the same request. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list.
Keep your week on track
Add a rental to the same request as the work. Rent by the day while your car is in, delivered to you. We deliver around Toronto; pickup at our location is free.
Planning around the work
Most small jobs fit within a day; larger ones are booked over several days. We confirm how long the car will be with us when we confirm the price.
A few things first
Arrive at the time we confirm, so the work can start on schedule. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. If you need a rental, add it to the request so it is ready when you arrive.
How the price is set
We quote your car, not an average car, so the price fits the job. Simple jobs cost less; we tell you if a smaller job would do. The size of the car matters: an SUV or a van has more surface than a compact car.
Aftercare
Hand washing is gentler than automatic brushes on any finish. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
Let us know
Ask for a quote today; it is free.

Tell us when suits you; we reply within one business day with a time and a price.
