Tesla Repair Time: How Long Does It Take?

The majority of Tesla owners ask this question: "If I visit a repair shop for my Tesla repair, can I get it done same-day?

With the importance of getting back on the road quickly, a reliable Tesla repair facility that prioritizes time is paramount for every Tesla owner.

For this reason, Tesla has a service system that includes routine maintenance, collision repairs, and software updates to ensure a hassle-free and prompt repair experience for customers.

Tesla's repair time frame has been criticized for taking "too much time for repairs" compared to traditional vehicle repair shops.

In this blog, we will delve into factors influencing Tesla repair time and actionable ways to get your Tesla repaired and back on the road promptly.

Factors influencing Tesla repair time

Extent of Damage

The severity of damage determines the Tesla repair time frame. In case of minor damages like scratches and dents, it takes a minimum of 24 hours and a maximum of 6 days. On the other hand, it takes weeks for major and extremely severe damage to get fixed.

Limitations of Tesla Parts

While traditional vehicles can source their parts from multiple suppliers to supply, Tesla's genuine parts are mainly shipped from California. This could affect local body repair, resulting in the unavailability of authentic parts.

Repair shop workload

Tesla has made an impressive mark by equipping selected repair shops and trained technicians with premium knowledge and resources for Tesla repair purposes.

These repair shops always have more tasks, which results in a slow repair process and the booking of appointments.

Complexity of Repair

Needless to say, Tesla is designed with advanced technology, and the process of repair requires specialized knowledge and attention. Repair shops often diagnose, test, and test again to ensure quality repair services.

This makes the seemingly simple fixes take longer than imagined.

Insurance Approval

In case your Tesla is insured, repair shops often communicate estimates and wait for your insurance company to review and approve it. Oftentimes, the delay in obtaining approval has been a frustrating factor that extends the repair timeline.

Ways to fasten your Tesla repair timeline

Proper documentation of issues

When you notice symptoms of an issue with your Tesla, take pictures or do a video recording.

Present the information to the repair shop to fast-track your Tesla repair timeline.

Choose a certified repair shop

Tesla has extended its repair centers across regions, providing high-quality services for customers. Similarly, Tesla has approved selected independent repair centers experienced and equipped to offer Tesla repair services. One of them is Regal Repair.

Choosing a certified repair center accelerates the repair process for you to get on the road as soon as possible.

Early appointment scheduling

Have you discovered a repair issue?

What are you waiting for?

Schedule an appointment at a Tesla-approved shop or certified center.

Especially if you need to use your car as soon as possible, it starts with early appointment scheduling.

Notify your insurance company early.

Proactively communicate the situation with your insurance company as soon as possible. This saves time, as most insurance companies take sufficient time to review repair estimates, verify coverage, and approve it.

By notifying them early, you can escape the long wait and get your Tesla back on the road.

Stay in Touch with the Repair Center

This is a proven strategy that facilitates the repair process for both technicians and car owners.

Staying in touch gives you access to updates regarding the repair progress in case anything is needed of you. Additionally, the repair center continues to do your job.

In conclusion, Tesla repair can be annoyingly slow. But by following the proven guidelines provided by this blog, you can fast-track the repair process.

FAQ

1. Can I get my Tesla repaired the same day?

Yes, you can, if only the type of repair is minor, such as software updates, tire replacements, or small dents, which can be completed within 24 hours. But the timeframes are quite different when the repair type is major. No bodywork or part replacements can take a day, it takes days or even weeks because of a part availability and repair complexity.

2. Why do Tesla repairs take longer than traditional car repairs?

When the body shop has difficulty finding the genuine parts, the repair may take really longer. In all other cases,Tesla repair takes almost the same timeframe as the traditional repair. In addition, if there is high repair shop demand, it also can be the reason for longer repair. But if there is no issue with insurance approval, then the repair takes the same time as other car repairs.

3. How can I speed up my Tesla repair process?

To speed up your Tesla repair process, make things organized: Let's say, do your best to have an early appointment, get your insurance coverage as soon as possible, make documentations beforehand, and keep in touch with the repair shop.
