Tesla Preferred Collision Centers – Certified Repair Experts in Pensacola, FL
What Is a Tesla Preferred Collision Center?
When your Tesla is in an accident, you can’t trust just any body shop. Tesla vehicles require specialized aluminum repair equipment, diagnostic tools, and certified technicians who understand the brand’s advanced design and technology.
A Tesla Preferred Collision Center (also called a Tesla-Approved Body Shop) meets Tesla’s exacting standards for quality, training, and safety. These shops are equipped to restore vehicles to factory condition while maintaining warranties and performance.
At Gross & Son Collision Center in Pensacola, Florida, we proudly provide Tesla-approved repair services, ensuring that your Model S, Model 3, Model X, or Model Y receives expert attention from trained technicians.
Why Choose a Tesla Preferred Collision Center?
Tesla-certified shops undergo extensive factory training and facility inspections. Working with one guarantees:
- OEM parts and materials — genuine Tesla components are used for all repairs.
- Aluminum and high-voltage expertise — technicians are trained for Tesla’s unique body structures and EV systems.
- Advanced safety system calibration — including cameras, radar, and sensors used in Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving (FSD) features.
- Manufacturer-approved repair methods — following Tesla’s published guidelines to protect structural integrity and warranty coverage.
- Proper battery isolation and EV safety compliance — ensuring every high-voltage component is handled correctly.
