Do you repair Tesla and EV vehicles?
Yes — Tesla, Rivian, Polestar, Lucid, and other EV bodywork — including aluminum panel repair, high-voltage system de-energization, ADAS recalibration, and structural work on Tesla's bonded-aluminum chassis.

Yes — you can buy back the salvage from the carrier. The settlement is reduced by the salvage value. Sometimes makes sense for older vehicles or specialty cars.
