Aluminum has no memory. Steel wants to spring back and a technician uses that. Aluminum gives nothing back, so it takes more force and more accuracy at the same time, and heat to keep it moving. Work it like steel and it does not fail quietly.
Worked cold or worked fast, so the finish cracked or lifted while the panel was still moving. The dent came out and the car still needs paint, which was the one thing paintless repair was supposed to protect.
Too much force in one place. The low spot comes up and a wave stays behind it. You find that wave the first time the car parks under garage lighting or beside a painted stall line.
Access taken the fast way. A drilled hole behind a plug is permanent, and glue pulling on a panel that was not ready lifts the clear. Neither shows up on the day. Both show up later.
A Tesla is mixed construction. The door skin is aluminum and the fender is steel. A shop that assumes the whole car is one or the other prices the wrong panel, and finds out halfway through.
Myke has seen all four, and often several on the same car, because they come from one root cause. Somebody treated aluminum like steel. That is why the real question on a Tesla is never whether the dent can come out. It is who is allowed to touch the panel.
All four happen, and they happen in that order more often than not. Send photos before you start down that road, not after.
A Tesla door is a thin outer skin over an impact beam, a window regulator and wiring. A ding on open metal is a straightforward repair. The same ding sitting over the beam has to be reached from behind, and that is the difference in the number, not the size of the dent. In Downtown San Diego the panels that take it most are door and bumper and fender. See what actually drives the price.
The same door, inside and out. What you can't see is exactly what sets the price.
A Tesla door ding starts around $250 because the panel is aluminum. Medium dents and creases run higher with depth and access.
Dime to quarter sized, paint intact. The most common Tesla repair.
Golf ball to baseball, more depth to work out of the aluminum.
Priced by length and how sharp it is, since the line has to stay straight.
Six inches or more, or stretched metal that takes controlled heat.
Priced by the storm and the panel count, usually $1,500 to $8,000 or more. This is the one repair where insurance usually makes sense. We work every panel, keep the factory finish, and handle the claim with your insurer directly.

Because you do not hit the flat of a panel in a structure. You catch an edge. Concrete columns, tight ramps, and low beams take front corners, rear corners, door edges, and mirrors rather than the broad middle of a door.
Edge damage is its own category. A corner has crowned metal, meaning it curves in two directions at once, and crowned metal fights back harder than a flat panel. There is also far less room to work behind it, because that is exactly where the structure, the light housing, and the liner all sit. Access is often the biggest part of the labor, and it is why an honest quote sometimes includes removing a part before the repair even starts.
On a Tesla, that matters more. Tesla panels are aluminum, and aluminum has no memory, so it gives nothing back and every correction takes more force and more accuracy than the same damage in steel. That is why a Tesla door ding starts around $250 rather than $197, and why the technician matters more here than the price does.
Corner damage is where a shortcut does the most harm. Drilling an access hole is faster for the technician and permanent for your car. So is prying against a crowded edge and stretching the metal. Neither shows up the day of the repair. Both show up later, in a reflection or at trade-in.
Mobile or shop for Downtown San Diego: Most edge and corner work is mobile. If a light or liner has to come out for access, we tell you that in the quote rather than discovering it in your driveway.
Yes. We come to you in your own garage or carport, which is usually the best light available. A covered space is an advantage rather than a problem. The overhead surface gives clean reflections to read the panel against, which is exactly what edge and corner work needs. The Escondido shop is the better call for anything needing controlled lighting, heavy access, or a panel off the vehicle. We tell you which one fits before you book rather than after. Text photos to 858-408-6200 and you get a real number back, usually within minutes.
Send photos first and we will tell you honestly. The deciding factor here is what has to come off. Edge and corner work is mobile in most cases, but if a light, a liner or a trim piece has to come out to reach the back of the dent, we say so in the quote rather than discovering it in your garage. Most Downtown San Diego repairs are mobile. The ones that are not are worth the drive rather than worth rushing.
Downtown is structure parking and valet. The Gaslamp Quarter, Little Italy, East Village, and the garages around Petco Park all mean concrete columns, tight ramps, and other people moving your car. Event nights fill every structure at the same time, which is when the contact happens. Around here that usually means front corners, door edges, and mirrors from structures and valet.
A Tesla door ding starts around $250 because the panels are aluminum, which takes more force and precision to reset than steel. Medium dents and creases run higher. Text a photo to 858-408-6200 for an exact number.
