Tesla body repair at Dentco starts around $650 for minor bumper and panel work, and up from there depending on damage extent. Tesla's UV-cured paint process and tighter panel gaps require specific technique and calibration most general shops aren't set up for.
Tesla body panels use a UV-cured paint system rather than traditional heat-cured paint, and many Tesla models have structural adhesive bonding instead of welds in certain areas. Getting this wrong affects both cosmetic finish and, in some cases, the vehicle's safety structure — which is why Tesla-specific experience matters more here than on most other brands.
