Tesla Model 3 — aluminum quarter panel + ADAS recalibration
Half the shops we called “don’t touch Teslas.” We do — in a clean room, with the procedure open.

The hit
Priya Shah’s Model 3 took a side-swipe on Loop 101. Three shops declined. The fourth wanted to blend a steel procedure onto aluminum.
The work
OEM quarter, aluminum bay, structural adhesive by the book, then Amina’s Hunter rack for cameras and radar. The report is in the folder. The car is road-legal. Those are different sentences and we mean both.
The hand-back
Nine days. Lifetime warranty. She still sends us Tesla owners who were told to wait six weeks for a body shop in Phoenix.
