Yes. Rivian dent repair is regular work for us, and paintless dent repair brings the aluminum panel back to factory with no repaint and nothing on the Carfax.
A Rivian earns its dings. Trailheads, job sites, gravel, and gates all leave their mark on the R1T and R1S. The body is aluminum, which gives nothing back and takes a master to reset, and that is exactly the kind of repair we specialize in. We work the panel from behind so the factory finish stays intact.

On an R1T and an R1S the rear quarter is one piece, running from the back corner up over the side windows to the A-pillar. It is not a part that comes off. Everything that follows comes from that one fact.
A dent in the rear quarter of an R1S. The paint is intact. Nothing mechanical is touched.
Insurance paid either way, so this was never about saving the owner money. It was about which truck he got back. That difference does not show up on the invoice, it shows up the day he sells it.
A Rivian door is a thin outer skin over an impact beam, a window regulator and wiring. A ding on open metal comes out from behind in minutes. The same ding over the beam has to be reached around it, and on aluminum, which gives nothing back, that access matters even more. That is what moves the number, not the width of the dent. See what actually drives the price.

Rivian repairs are priced like other aluminum EVs, higher than steel because the metal has no memory. Depth and access set the final number.

Because the certified collision network is small, the parts pipeline is slow, and the panels are large aluminum. Rivian owners routinely find themselves quoted weeks of waiting for damage that never needed paint in the first place.
Paintless dent repair sidesteps all of it. If the factory paint is intact, the panel is worked from behind and reset without paint, filler, or a parts order. There is no certified network to queue for, because nothing is being replaced or refinished. For a door ding, a crease, or a parking-lot dent on an R1T or R1S, that is the difference between a same-week fix and a month.
Rivian panels do demand more of the technician. R1T and R1S body panels are large and aluminum-intensive, and aluminum has no memory, so it gives nothing back and takes far more force and accuracy to reset than steel. Large panels also mean a longer reflection to read, which is where the finishing work either happens or gets skipped.
The honest limit: if the paint is cracked or the metal is torn, that is a body shop job and we will tell you so rather than take the work.
Aluminum is far more challenging than steel and it is not flexible. It does not have the same memory steel does, so it never wants to return to shape on its own. The repair uses heat and sharper tools to manipulate the flow of the aluminum back into place, and that takes more time and far more precision.
None of this is an electric car story. Ford has built the F-150 body in aluminum since 2015, and Toyota, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz use aluminum on hoods, doors, and tailgates across their ranges. If you drive something built in the last decade, there is a good chance at least one panel on it is aluminum.
Almost every question we get about aluminum is some version of "is this repairable?" That is the wrong thing to be nervous about. On an intact-paint panel the answer is nearly always yes.
The real variable is who is doing it. Aluminum punishes inexperience in a way steel never does. Steel forgives a wrong move because it wants to go back. Aluminum records it. The same dent, on the same panel, on the same day, comes out invisible in one set of hands and pock-marked in another.
So the question worth asking a shop is not whether they can fix aluminum. Everyone says yes. Ask how long they have been doing it, and ask to see one they finished.
