Our Specialized Tesla Services
Tailored specifically to the unique maintenance requirements of the Tesla lineup.
- Low-Voltage Battery Replacement (12V & 16V) Even a Tesla relies on a low-voltage battery to “wake up” the high-voltage system. We service and replace both traditional 12V AGM batteries and the newer 16V Lithium-ion packs found in late-model Teslas to prevent “system shut-off” failures.
- Suspension & Chassis Precision Tesla vehicles are significantly heavier than gas cars, leading to faster wear on bushings and control arms. We specialize in diagnosing the “clunking” or “creaking” sounds common in Model 3/Y front upper control arms and performing precision alignments to protect your tires.
- HEPA Filter & Cabin Air Conditioning Service Tesla’s advanced “Bioweapon Defense Mode” requires specialized HEPA and carbon filter replacements every 3 years. We also service the A/C desiccant bags to ensure your climate system runs efficiently and prevents musty odors.
- Brake Caliper Service & Fluid Testing. Because Teslas use regenerative braking, the physical brakes are often underused, leading to seized calipers in our Washington climate. We perform annual cleaning and lubrication of the brake slides and test the fluid for moisture content every 2 years.
