Electric Vehicle Repair

EVs aren’t the future anymore — they’re already here. From Teslas gliding down Sunset Boulevard to Rivians taking on California’s rugged coastlines, electric vehicles are quickly becoming the car of choice for Los Angeles drivers. But here’s the truth most shops don’t want to admit: EV repair is nothing like traditional auto repair — and the majority of collision centers simply aren’t ready for the challenge.

At Metro Collision Center, we specialize in advanced electric vehicle repair that meets today’s evolving standards. Whether you’ve been in a fender bender or your ADAS system needs recalibration, we’re the trusted name in Los Angeles for precise, safe, and manufacturer-compliant EV repairs.

⚠️ The Shocking Truth About EV Collision Repair

Electric vehicles aren’t just cars with batteries — they’re rolling computers built on ultra-lightweight frames, aluminum or carbon fiber bodies, and high-voltage architecture. Standard auto body repair shops often lack the tools, training, and safety protocols to properly service EVs — which can lead to:

  • Damaged or improperly grounded battery packs

  • Dangerous high-voltage exposure

  • Compromised sensor systems (ADAS)

  • Improper aluminum or carbon fiber repair

  • Risk of thermal runaway or battery fire

  • Voided warranties due to non-compliant repairs

Even a seemingly minor fender bender can involve critical calibration and software diagnostics on an EV. If it’s not done by a shop that specializes in electric vehicles, you’re risking much more than just a paint mismatch.

🧠 Did You Know?

  • EVs can carry up to 400–800 volts of electricity — that’s enough to be deadly if handled incorrectly.

  • After a collision, some EVs require thermal imaging to check for battery cell damage.

  • Even a small alignment issue can throw off autonomous driving features or regenerative braking systems.

  • Tesla and Rivian both require specific adhesives and fasteners to maintain structural certification.

  • An uncalibrated camera or radar sensor could render adaptive cruise control or auto braking systems useless.
