Rivian Certified Collision Center
Serving Ventura County
Factory-Certified Excellence
Certified by Rivian and by thirteen other manufacturers. Our technicians work from Rivian's published procedures for your specific model year, not from a general EV playbook.
Advanced Technology
Factory diagnostic access, ADAS calibration equipment, structural measuring equipment that checks every point against factory specification, and a repair environment built for bonded-and-riveted construction.
TONY’S BODY SHOP IS A Rivian Certified Body Shop
OUT OF AREA? WE PICK UP AND DELIVER
A Rivian is not built like the vehicles that came before it. The R1T and R1S ride on a sealed battery platform that carries structural load, a frame used to carry, wrapped in a body that mixes aluminum, ultra-high-strength steel, and composite panels. Repairing one properly starts with knowing which material you are touching before you touch it.
Tony’s Body Shop is a Rivian Certified Collision Center. We provide the training, factory diagnostics, calibration equipment, and direct access to parts that Rivian requires. We’ve run a similar program for Tesla and Lucid owners for years. Your Rivian leaves repaired to the standard it was built to. Not near it.
100% Genuine OEM
Factory-authorized parts exclusively for certified facilities
Access to Restricted Parts and Protocols
Rivian sells its structural and safety-critical components only to shops inside its certified network. Battery enclosure hardware, structural castings, suspension components, restraint systems. A shop outside that network can order a bumper cover. It cannot order the parts underneath it.
- Critical Fact:
A non-approved facility literally cannot purchase the essential items needed to restore the structural integrity of your vehicle.
Most owners learn this after the tow truck has already dropped the vehicle somewhere. The shop takes the job, finds out what it cannot buy, and the repair stalls while the car sits. We have direct access to parts and the current repair procedures, including the revisions Rivian issues as the platform changes.
Premier Destination for
Rivian Collision Repair in Ventura County
Every structural and safety component we install in your Rivian is Genuine OEM. No aftermarket substitutes, no salvage parts in the safety path, no panels that fit closely enough to pass a walk-around.
On a Rivian the distinction carries more weight than usual. Body structure is engineered to fold along specific paths, and what sits behind that structure is a battery pack running the length of the wheelbase. A part that measures right can still absorb energy wrong. That is a risk worth exactly nothing to take.
Rivian Collision Repair with Pickup & Dropoff - Tony's Body Shop Ventura County
We pick your Rivian up and bring it back, anywhere in Ventura County. Send us photos to start a photo estimate, or call (805) 485-5514, and we will arrange a collection from wherever the vehicle sits. If insurance is involved, we handle the claim directly with your carrier so you are not the one relaying messages between two companies.
Mastering Aluminum Construction
Rivian leans on aluminum across the R1T and R1S to hold weight down and range up, then places ultra-high-strength steel where intrusion protection matters and composite where it makes sense, including the R1T’s structural bed. Three materials, one body, three different sets of rules.
Aluminum does not behave like steel. It work-hardens, it will not take the same heat, and it wants specific heating and pulling techniques rather than the pulls steel tolerates. Where aluminum meets steel the joint is often bonded and riveted instead of welded, and Rivian specifies which fastener and which adhesive. That is not a judgment call for the technician.
- Critical Protection:
Aluminum is highly susceptible to galvanic corrosion. If aluminum panels are exposed to steel dust or debris during the repair process, it can lead to paint failure and structural weakness years down the line.
Then there is contamination, which is the part shops underestimate. Steel dust settling on bare aluminum starts galvanic corrosion that shows up months later and cannot be reversed once it does. Aluminum work at Tony’s happens in a fully enclosed aluminum room, sealed off from every steel operation in the building.
High-Voltage Safety and Sensor Calibration
Rivian’s battery pack is structural, and it sits under the floor across the whole wheelbase, which means high-voltage procedures are part of most real repairs rather than a special case. Our technicians are trained to de-energize the system, verify isolation, work around the pack and drive units, and bring everything back up correctly.
- Precision Calibration:
As an approved facility, we possess the factory diagnostic tools required to recalibrate these systems to millimeter-perfect specifications. We ensure that every camera is seeing clearly and every sensor is reporting accurately before you get back on the road. Making sure the system works as the manufacturer of the car intended is our goal.
High-Voltage Certified
Trained to Rivian's procedures for safe shutdown, isolation verification and re-energizing.
Factory Diagnostics
Factory-level access to read the vehicle properly and confirm every system before it leaves.

Why Choose a Rivian Certified Body Shop?
- Parts you cannot get anywhere else. Structural and safety components move only inside the certified network.
- Procedures that are current. Rivian revises its repair documentation as the platform develops. Certified shops receive the revisions.
- Driver+ calibration done right. Cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors need recalibration after common repairs. Skipped, the systems report themselves ready while running on bad geometry.
- Mixed-material training. Aluminum, ultra-high-strength steel and composite in one structure, each with its own procedure and real consequences for guessing.
- A sealed aluminum environment. Contamination control is a facility question, not a technique question.
- A lifetime warranty. Rivian backs repairs performed at certified collision centers for as long as you own the vehicle.
