Precision PDR are fully accredited EV and Hybrid repair specialists, trained to safely and effectively carry out paintless dent repairs on electric vehicles, including Teslas.
Why Is Repairing a Tesla Different from a Traditional ICE Vehicle?
Unlike internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, electric vehicles (EVs) are built around high-voltage systems. Tesla models, in particular, have high-powered cables routed throughout the body, which can pose serious safety risks if not handled correctly.
In paintless dent repair (PDR), one common method involves pushing the dent out from behind the panel. However, on EVs like Teslas, this can be dangerous. Some PDR tools have sharp tips, and if one were to accidentally pierce a high-voltage cable, it could lead to electrical hazards, including fire or serious injury.
That’s why choosing an EV-accredited technician is essential. We have the training, experience, and tools to work around these sensitive components safely, ensuring both your safety and the integrity of your vehicle.
Panel Construction on Teslas
Tesla vehicles are known for their unique construction. Each model features a combination of steel and aluminium panels, often with complex internal bracing and dense sound insulation. These structural differences can make access more restricted compared to traditional vehicles.
Thanks to our specialist tools and experience, we’re able to work around these challenges and perform precise repairs even in tight or limited-access areas.
Aluminium Dent Repair
Tesla panels often include aluminium, a metal known for its lightweight strength but also its difficulty in dent repair. Unlike steel, aluminium has no memory, meaning it doesn’t spring back into shape as easily. Most aluminium repairs require careful application of heat to manipulate the metal correctly.

Whether it’s a steel or aluminium panel, we use a combination of advanced glue pulling and precise pushing techniques to restore your Tesla’s bodywork to its original condition without affecting the paintwork.
