Your Tesla repair schedule should have an explanation behind it. At Universal Motorcars, we inspect the damage, plan the body and paint work, check the parts involved and identify related mechanical or diagnostic needs. We explain the starting schedule and keep you informed when it changes.
The damage sets the starting schedule
A bumper scrape, a replacement door and a multi-panel accident repair involve different amounts of work. Access, disassembly, panel fitting, surface preparation, refinishing and final checks all belong in the schedule. A useful estimate starts with the actual vehicle, rather than a general claim that every Tesla takes weeks to repair.
We check the specific parts your Tesla needs
A part’s availability depends on the vehicle and component. We identify the parts required for your repair and explain any sourcing requirement or delivery issue that affects progress. If a part is delayed, we tell you what is outstanding and how it affects the next stage. We do not assume that every Tesla part is backordered or that every damaged panel must be replaced.
Hidden damage can change the scope
During authorized repairs, disassembly may reveal damage behind the visible panels. We document what we find and update the estimate. Our published 2024 Model Y case shows this process: additional front-end components, aluminum hood work, door and quarter-panel work, and five supplement revisions.
The case is an example of documented repair planning. It is not a standard price or timeline for another Tesla.
Diagnostics and required setup take their place in the plan
Scans, alignment work and camera or sensor setup depend on the affected systems and Tesla’s procedure for the vehicle. We coordinate those operations with the body repair. Post Road provides in-house ADAS services; the repair plan identifies how your Tesla’s required procedure will be completed.
A bumper repair does not automatically require every sensor to be recalibrated. We use the repair operation and applicable procedure to determine the work, rather than adding a universal calibration claim.
Insurance review can affect progress
We work with Tesla Insurance and other auto insurers on repairs performed with us. A supplement updates the existing repair estimate when additional damage or required operations are documented. It is not a separate accident claim. Our team submits the documentation, communicates with the adjuster and explains what is approved or awaiting review.
For covered, approved repairs through your own insurance, you pay your applicable deductible. We discuss any coverage issue or work outside the approved claim before you authorize it.
What you can expect from Universal Motorcars
We explain the starting repair plan, the parts and approvals involved, and the next step when the schedule changes. Share your claim number and existing estimate, tell us about new warning messages or handling changes, and let us know if you need rental coordination. We can help clarify approved rental dates and limits with you.
