Paint that failed before the metal did
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.

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 Poway the panels that take it most are door and trunk or tailgate. 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.

Yes, and it is a different repair from a commuter car. Bedsides, tailgates, and cab corners take the damage, usually from trailers, gates, loads, and other work vehicles rather than from parked cars.
Truck panels are large and often have heavy bracing directly behind the impact area, so access decides the approach more than the dent does. A tailgate is usually good access. A bedside can mean working around an inner panel. That is why two dents the same size on the same truck can be quoted differently, and why the quote comes from photos of your actual panel.
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.
Work vehicles get the fastest, cheapest repair more often than any other category, and it shows at resale. A bedside pushed out without finishing the high spots looks acceptable on a job site and looks obvious on a dealer lot.
Mobile or shop for Poway: Mobile at your yard or job site for most panels. Multiple units are easier to schedule together, so tell us the count up front.
Yes. We come to you at your yard or job site, so the truck is not off the road for a day. Downtime is the real cost on a work vehicle. Bedsides, tailgates and cab corners are all reachable on site, and we would rather come to the truck than have it sitting at a shop. 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 downtime. If the truck can spare an hour on site, mobile wins outright. The shop is worth it only when a bedside or a tailgate needs to come off, and we will tell you that before you lose a day to it. Most Poway repairs are mobile. The ones that are not are worth the drive rather than worth rushing.
Poway calls itself the City in the Country, and both halves show up in the damage. The Poway Business Park keeps work vehicles and commuter cars in the same lots all day, while the rural east side means two-lane roads, horse trailers, and road debris. Around here that usually means doors in the business park, hoods and roofs out east.
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.
No. Paintless dent repair touches only the body panel, never the battery, electronics, or structure, and it adds no heat near the pack. It does not affect your factory or battery warranty and keeps the work off the Carfax.
Yes. Model 3 and Model Y dents are our most common Tesla repair, from door dings to body-line creases. The aluminum panel is reset to factory with no repaint and nothing on the Carfax.
