Rust repair: the 2015 Tesla Model S
For the 2015 Tesla Model S, rust repair starts with a quote from a person, never a guess. Rust is cut out or treated, then the area is refinished.
About your Model S
If something on the car is already damaged, show us in the photos. We note the car's condition with you when it comes in. Keep the repair invoice with the car's records.
Booking a time
We reply within one business day with a time and a price. Your quote is for your car, not a general price list. Tell us whether you can drop the car off or need it collected.
Keep your week on track
A rental means the work does not stop your week. While it is repaired, rent from us: an insurance replacement rental when the repair is a claim your adjuster approves, or at our usual rates. Your offer shows the delivery fee if you want the car brought to you.
A few things first
Leave a phone number where we can reach you during the day. Point out anything you want us to pay special attention to. Bring the keys you use every day, and the wheel lock key if the car has one.
After the work
New paint needs time to harden fully; ask us when it is safe to wash and wax. If anything about the work looks wrong after you collect the car, tell us.
What affects the price
A quote lists what is included, so you can compare it fairly. Photos let us give a closer price before we see the car in person. If you only need part of the work, say so and we quote that part.
How long you are without it
Weather and curing times can change the schedule for some work. Bigger jobs are booked in a few days ahead; small ones can often be fitted in sooner.
Talk to a person
A person reads your request and replies with a price and a time.
