Benefits of Choosing our Heritage Collision Certified Body Shop

Tesla approved collision center logo

Our Partnership as a Tesla approved collision center has given Ann Arbor Area drivers a place they can depend on that can handle all their auto body repairs.

Heritage Collision’s Ann Arbor technicians carry Tesla specific training that most Michigan collision shops don’t have and can’t easily get.

We have made a significant investment in repairing your Tesla. In the past, auto body repairers struggled with Tesla repairs because they were complex.

Our certified technicians catch what other shops miss and handle what other shops won’t touch.

WHY TESLA OWNERS CHOOSE HERITAGE COLLISION FOR COLLISION REPAIR?

Your safety, your battery pack’s integrity, and your Autopilot system’s accuracy mean everything.
That’s the entire reason this level of certification exists, and why it’s concentrated
at one location instead of spread thin across both.

TESLA PANTLESS DENT REPAIR

Parking lot dings from a tight downtown Ann Arbor spot or a Michigan Medicine parking structure? We correct them without repainting, preserving your factory finish and the integrity of any aluminum panels.

TESLA STRUCTURAL REPAIR

Michigan winters and Michigan potholes hit harder than they look. Our technicians find the hidden damage beneath the surface and repair it to Tesla’s exact structural specifications.

TESLA PAINT REPAIR

Our refinishing specialists use factory color-matching technology to restore your Tesla’s finish to its original condition, the same as the day it rolled off the lot.

Autopilot only works as well as its cameras are aimed. After a collision repair, even a fraction of a degree of misalignment can change when the system detects a hazard, or whether it does. It’s only as good as its calibration.

Our Tesla Certified technicians restore your camera system to factory-exact alignment after every qualifying repair; no guesswork, no shortcuts.

Did you know Tesla’s Autopilot requires recalibration after any repair that touches the front fascia, pillars, or rear structure?

On a daily Ann Arbor commute or a long haul up US-23, Autopilot’s cameras are doing constant work most drivers never think about, until a repair disturbs their alignment. Our Tesla certified technicians recalibrate every affected camera so that it works correctly again.

Tesla’s Autopilot is standard on every current Tesla model.

Autopilot Camera & Radar Suite Transforming Every Drive: Tesla vehicles use a network of cameras (and, on certain configurations, radar) positioned around the vehicle for full-perimeter awareness, powering the Autopilot suite.

Automatic Emergency Braking: Camera-based detection that can brake automatically to prevent or reduce a frontal collision.
Traffic-Aware Cruise Control: Maintains your set following distance automatically, a real comfort upgrade on I-94 and US-23 commute.
Autosteer: Lane-centering assistance that reduces steering fatigue during supervised highway driving.
Blind Spot Camera Display: Visual and audible alerts for safer lane changes.
Park Assist with 360° Camera View: Full-perimeter visibility for tight Ann Arbor parking situations.

TESLA CERTIFIED REPAIR QUESTIONS

You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers.

Does a Tesla need special certification for collision repair?

Yes. Tesla’s integrated battery structure requires high-voltage safety training, and its Autopilot camera suite requires precise recalibration after repairs near the front fascia, pillars, or rear structure. Heritage Collision is a Tesla-trained facility that has access to Tesla’s official repair procedures.

Do I have to use my insurance company’s preferred shop for my Tesla?

No. Michigan law gives you the right to choose your repair facility, regardless of what your insurer suggests. Choose Heritage Collision for your Tesla auto body repairs and calibrations.

Is it safe to have my Tesla’s structure repaired near the battery?

Only by technicians specifically trained in Tesla’s high-voltage safety protocols, like Heritage Collision. Improper de-energization or handling near the battery pack is a genuine safety risk; this is why Tesla-specific certification exists.

Will my Autopilot features work correctly after a repair?

At Heritage Collision, precise recalibration of the affected cameras to Tesla’s exact specifications is a required step in any repair touching the front fascia, pillars, or rear structure.

Does a body shop need special access to work on a Tesla?

Yes. Tesla’s official repair procedures are gatekept to approved, trained facilities. Heritage Collision maintains this access rather than relying on guesswork about EV repair.

What Tesla models does Heritage Collision service?

Model 3, Model Y, Model S, and Model X

Will repair affect my Tesla’s software recognition of Autopilot hardware?

Proper post-repair verification confirms the vehicle’s systems correctly recognize the sensor configuration after recalibration.  This is part of our standard repair and quality-check process at Heritage Collision.

What most drivers don’t realize about their Tesla until after an accident:

Tesla battery pack isn’t just “under the car”; it’s part of the car’s structure.

Most Tesla models’ battery packs are structural, load-bearing components integrated into the floor. That means any repair near the underbody or rocker panels directly intersects with high-voltage safety. Technicians must have high-voltage certification before working near it.

The Tesla body isn’t one material and can’t be repaired like one.

Tesla cars combine aluminum and steel, so their structure can’t be welded the traditional way. We know which section of your vehicle the repair method applies to, so we aren’t risking a bad result in a future collision.

Tesla Autopilot doesn’t fail loudly; it fails quietly.

A misaligned camera after a front-end or windshield repair doesn’t usually cause an error. It simply detects hazards later, or not at all, while your dashboard shows nothing wrong. A Tesla system built around automatic emergency braking and lane centering, that’s not a small margin of error at highway speed.
