Prestige Imports is a proud member of the Tesla Approved Body Shop Network
The mission of the Tesla Approved Body Shop Network is:
To provide body shops with the training, procedures, parts, and tools to repair Tesla vehicles in an easy and cost-effective manner.
As a member of this network, Tesla actively monitors the Prestige Imports collision repair facility to ensure that we have the specialized training and equipment necessary to repair these state-of-the-art vehicles and shorten the time each customer is without their Tesla.
Approved Tesla Body Shop Technicians Receive Specialized Training and Assessment
At the Prestige Imports Collision Center, all the technicians that will work on your vehicle have undertaken rigorous training and assessments to ensure their ability to return Tesla vehicles to their originally designed state of safety, systems performance, and fit and finish aesthetics.
All staff performing any work on Tesla vehicles are required to complete Tesla online safety courses, including “Electrical Fundamentals” and “Model S, X, 3, Roadster HV Disablement”. They must also achieve proficiency with the Tesla “Toolbox” diagnostic software.
Additionally, our technicians must demonstrate the ability to perform structural and nonstructural repair work on Tesla vehicles and the ability to remove and install High Voltage batteries and drive motors.
Approved Tesla Body Shops Use Only Authentic Tesla Parts
Tesla restricts the sale of certain replacement parts to approved Tesla body shops that possess the correct tools and have received training on how to use them.
Restricted parts include HV (High Voltage) components and certain components that are secured with welding, structural adhesive, and/or permanent fasteners. Needless to say, it’s hard to complete auto body repair procedures without these parts; and that’s why it is so important to choose a Tesla Approved Body Shop like Prestige Imports.
General Requirements for an Approved Tesla Body Shop
Like most manufacturers, Tesla requires a substantial level of proficiency before even beginning the certification process. Below are just a few of the requirements that the Prestige Imports Collision Center maintains as a matter of course:
- Meet or exceed all local and federal safety and environmental standards.
- Demonstrate ongoing industry relevant training (certificates) for management, administration, and production personnel.
- Have the ability to complete and verify four-wheel alignment through computer printout.
