From a real repair file

More than a bumper repair.

This Model Y needed front-end parts, aluminum hood repair, a replacement left rear door shell and paint blending. Disassembly exposed additional brackets and impact components that the first exterior estimate could not show.

The repair file also records diagnostic scanning, Tesla Toolbox, Service Mode and calibration. Bodywork, refinishing and vehicle systems were addressed together.

Insurance repairs, handled by your repair team

Bring us the claim.
We handle the repair paperwork.

You should not have to explain a damaged bumper bracket to an adjuster. Bring your Tesla, claim number and any estimate you have. We inspect the vehicle, document the repair needs and communicate directly with the insurance company throughout the repair.

We work with all major insurance companies, including State Farm, GEICO, Progressive, Mendota, The General, Mercury, Allstate, Farmers, Liberty Mutual, Safeco, Travelers, AAA, Tesla Insurance, The Hartford, USAA, Nationwide, Bristol West, Trexis, National General and Zurich.

  • Repair documentation: damage photographs, itemized estimates and supporting repair information.
  • Adjuster communication: explanations of the work required, responses to repair questions and follow-up on approvals.
  • Documented supplements: requests for additional parts, labor and required procedures identified during authorized repairs.
  • Clear updates: what has been approved, what is under review and what happens next.

Our team follows the repair estimate, supplements and repair-payment process so you have a shop contact who understands both your Tesla and your claim.

Paying directly? We also handle self-pay repairs, from parking damage and bumper scrapes to panel repairs and paintwork. Start with a free preliminary visual collision estimate.

Your deductible and policy coverage apply. We explain any work outside the approved claim before you authorize it. Nevada gives you the choice of a properly licensed body shop: NRS 690B.016.

    However it happened

    From parking damage
    to collision repair.

    Parking damage, a garage mishap or a traffic collision: bring us the vehicle and tell us what happened. We turn the damage into a repair plan you can understand.

    Can’t drive your Tesla?
    Call before moving it. We arrange towing and coordinate the inspection.

    Someone hit your parked Tesla

    A dent, cracked bumper or scuff—and no note. We inspect the damage and plan the repair. If you open a claim, we document the repair needs and follow up with the insurer.

    The garage door closed on the car

    A damaged hood, liftgate or roof edge needs more than a quick glance. We examine the affected panel, finish, trim and closures before explaining the options.

    A bumper scraped a wall or parking post

    We repair bumper scuffs and repairable damage, replace damaged covers when needed, and match the paint. We explain the options for an insurance claim or self-pay repair.

    You were rear-ended or hit from the side

    Tell us about warning messages, a door that won’t close or a new pull while driving. Body damage and accident-related handling concerns belong in the same repair plan.

    Tesla bodywork, paint & collision repair

    The finish matters.
    So does what’s underneath.

    We bring body repair, paintwork and accident-related mechanical work into the same repair plan. That means attention to panel fit and paint finish, plus the suspension, steering or electronic concerns caused by the impact.

    Bumpers, doors & body panels

    We repair and replace damaged Tesla bumpers, fenders, doors and body panels. We address damaged attachments and trim, adjust panel fit, and check door and liftgate operation as part of the repair.

    Bumper repair details →

    Paint matching & refinishing

    We match the existing color, prepare and refinish repaired areas, and blend adjacent panels where the finish requires it. Tinting, denibbing and polishing help produce a consistent appearance across the repaired area.

    Our paintwork →

    Hidden-damage inspection

    During authorized repairs, we remove affected parts to inspect what is behind them. We photograph additional damage, revise the repair plan and submit documented supplements for insurer review.

    How we document hidden damage →

    Aluminum body repair

    We carry out aluminum body repairs in a dedicated aluminum repair room. Our documented Model Y work includes aluminum hood repair and rear door-shell replacement. We inspect the damaged panel, mounting points and surrounding structure, then plan repair or replacement using the applicable Tesla procedure.

    See the actual repair →

    Suspension, steering & alignment

    We diagnose accident-related pulling, vibration and steering changes, then handle the suspension, steering and alignment work identified in the repair plan. Our collision and mechanical teams work together on the vehicle.

    Alignment after an accident →

    Diagnostics, calibration & setup

    We coordinate diagnostic scans, fault diagnosis and the calibration or setup required by the repair. Post Road provides in-house ADAS services. We identify the Tesla-specific procedure, arrange its completion and include the supporting documentation in the repair file.

    Diagnostics and calibration support →

    Tell us what changed after the accident. A dashboard warning, unusual noise or door that no longer closes properly helps us connect the visible damage with the rest of the repair. We document those concerns from the start.

    We make the case for the right Tesla parts and procedures.

    We advocate for appropriate original Tesla parts and the repair procedures your vehicle needs. Our requests are backed by damage photographs, inspection findings and relevant repair information.

    If an insurance estimate leaves out a required operation or specifies a part that raises a fit or procedure concern, we document the issue and submit the supporting request to the adjuster. You get an explanation of the repair decision and any unresolved coverage difference before authorizing the work.

    The goal is a repair plan supported by the vehicle’s condition and Tesla’s applicable procedures.

    Our collision paint and workmanship are backed by a limited lifetime warranty while the original owner keeps the vehicle, under the written warranty terms. See the warranty answer below →

    Is the Tesla collision estimate free?

    Yes. We provide a free preliminary visual collision estimate. Bring your vehicle, claim number and any insurer estimate. We explain the visible damage and starting repair plan; inspection during authorized disassembly establishes the work needed behind the panels.

    Can you repair a Tesla bumper instead of replacing it?

    Yes. We repair bumper scuffs and repairable damage, and replace covers with damage that requires replacement. We check cracks, gouges, attachment points and affected components, then explain the repair and paintwork needed.

    How do you match the paint on a repaired panel?

    We assess the existing finish, match and tint the color, and plan the refinishing and blending needed for the repair. Our documented Model Y work includes a replacement rear door, blending into the neighboring front door, and final denibbing and polishing.

    Is your Tesla body and paint repair covered by a warranty?

    Our collision paint and workmanship carry a limited lifetime warranty while the original owner keeps the vehicle, under the written warranty terms. Coverage does not transfer to a new owner. We explain the coverage and exclusions that apply to your repair.

    Do you work with my insurance company?

Bring us the claim information. We handle repair documentation, adjuster communication and supported supplements for repairs performed at Universal Motorcars.

    What if the first insurance estimate misses hidden damage?

    We photograph the additional damage, identify the parts and work required, and submit a documented supplement to update the estimate. Our team follows up with the adjuster and explains the repair changes and approval status. Required scans and calibrations are documented and submitted as the repair develops.

    Will you request original Tesla parts for my repair?

    Yes. We advocate for appropriate original Tesla parts and support the request with repair findings and applicable procedures. If the estimate raises a parts or repair-method concern, we document it for the adjuster and explain the decision and any unresolved coverage difference to you.

    Can I choose Universal Motorcars for my insurance repair?

    Yes. Nevada allows you to choose a properly licensed body shop. Tell your insurer you want Universal Motorcars to repair your Tesla, then send us your claim information. We coordinate the repair documentation directly with the insurer.

    My Tesla shows warning messages after the accident. Can you help?

    Yes. We diagnose accident-related electronic and mechanical concerns alongside the body damage. Tell us which warnings appeared and whether the car’s steering or handling changed. For a stop-driving warning or a vehicle that cannot be driven safely, call us to arrange towing.

    Will my Tesla need scanning or calibration?

    We identify the scans, fault diagnosis and calibration or setup required for the affected systems and repair operations. Post Road provides in-house ADAS services, and our team coordinates the Tesla-specific procedure and its documentation as part of the repair.

    How long will the repairs take?

    We give you a starting schedule after inspecting the damage and reviewing the parts and work needed. We keep you updated on parts arrival, additional findings, insurance review and completion checks, including what is needed before your Tesla is ready for pickup.

    Can you arrange towing, impound pickup or a rental?

    Yes. Call either location with your Tesla’s location and condition. We arrange towing, coordinate impound pickup with the required owner authorization, and help with rental coordination. We explain pickup costs and rental arrangements before booking; insurance rental benefits follow your policy.

    Can I get a teardown just for an insurance supplement?

    Teardown and supplement preparation are part of an authorized repair job with the vehicle staying at Universal Motorcars for repairs. Start with a free preliminary visual estimate, and we will explain the authorization and inspection needed to complete the repair.
