Accent Collision is one of the San Fernando Valley’s leading certified auto body shops for electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid repair. As more Canoga Park drivers switch to Tesla, Rivian, Chevy Bolt, Ford F-150 Lightning, and hybrid models, proper collision repair requires specialized training and equipment that most traditional body shops simply don’t have.
Why EV Collision Repair Is Different
- High-voltage battery systems: EV batteries carry 400–800+ volts. Our technicians are trained to safely isolate and handle HV systems before beginning any repair.
- Aluminum and advanced materials: Many EVs use aluminum-intensive body structures requiring different welding and forming techniques than traditional steel repair.
- ADAS and sensors: EVs carry more cameras, radar, and ultrasonic sensors than ICE vehicles — all requiring recalibration after collision repair.
- Structural battery packs: Some EVs have structural battery packs requiring specialized assessment after undercarriage impacts.

What Makes EV Collision Repair Different?
Electric vehicles present unique challenges after a collision. High-voltage battery packs require careful inspection and safe handling protocols. ADAS systems — lane keep assist, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring — depend on precisely calibrated sensors that must be recalibrated after any structural repair. Our technicians follow OEM-specific repair procedures to ensure your EV is safe to drive after it leaves our shop.

Yes. We repair Tesla Model 3, Y, S, and X vehicles using Tesla-approved repair procedures. We are not a Tesla-certified shop but follow OEM guidelines closely.
