Tesla · Scratch Repair
Light scratches machine-polished out, deeper ones filled and blended. Priced per Tesla model, not per brand.
What follows is what scratch repair on a Tesla specifically involves, what it costs, and what we check while the car is with us.
A scratch you cannot feel with a fingernail is above the colour layer and comes out with abrasive polishing, because polishing works by levelling the clear coat down to the base of the mark. One you can feel has gone through the clear and no amount of polishing will bring the missing colour back.
Machine polishing removes microns of clear every time. A panel that has been aggressively polished several times has very little left, and once it is gone the base coat is exposed and the panel needs a full refinish. Repeated cheap polishing is not free — it spends a finite resource.
Tesla is a American make, and heat management is handled by the car, but cabin and cooling loops still benefit from inspection, and tyres wear faster than owners expect from the instant torque and the weight. For a scratch repair specifically that means we price the parts to the model rather than the badge, and we check the items that go alongside it on this range instead of quoting a flat figure and finding out later.
The vehicle database lists 6 Tesla models, and parts, labour time and price all move between them. Pick yours from the list below for the detail that applies to your car rather than to the range.
If your fingernail does not catch in it, yes — a machine polish removes it entirely. Anything deeper needs paint.
A polish-out on one panel is the low end. A fill-and-blend repair costs more but still far less than a full panel respray. We quote after seeing the depth.
Machine polishing is mobile. Anything that needs paint and a controlled environment happens at the workshop.
