Premier Destination for Tesla Collision Repair in Ventura County
Owning a Tesla represents a commitment to the future of automotive engineering. These vehicles are not simply combustion engines swapped for batteries; they are sophisticated ecosystems of advanced software, high-voltage propulsion, and specialized materials. When a vehicle of this caliber is involved in an incident, the path to restoration requires more than traditional bodywork. It demands a facility that mirrors the manufacturer’s own standards of precision and technology.
For drivers in Oxnard, Ventura, and the surrounding regions, our facility offers the specialized care required to return your vehicle to its pre-accident condition. We have invested heavily to become a designated Tesla Certified Body Shop, ensuring that your investment is protected by factory-correct procedures and genuine components.

TONY’S BODY SHOP IS A Tesla Certified Body Shop
Access to Restricted Parts and Protocols
One of the most critical distinctions between a general repairer and a manufacturer-approved facility is access. Tesla operates a highly restricted parts network. Unlike other manufacturers that may sell components to any license holder, Tesla limits the sale of critical safety parts – including structural rails, suspension components, and safety restraint systems – exclusively to their authorized network.
- Critical Fact:
A non-approved facility literally cannot purchase the essential items needed to restore the structural integrity of your vehicle.
100% Genuine OEM
Factory-authorized parts exclusively for certified facilities

Mastering Aluminum Construction
From the Model S to the Model Y, Tesla utilizes advanced material mixes, relying heavily on aluminum to reduce weight and maximize range. Aluminum is fundamentally different from the steel used in traditional auto manufacturing. It has no “memory,” meaning it cannot simply be hammered back into shape. It requires specific heating and pulling techniques, as well as specialized joining methods like rivet bonding and flow-drill screwing.
- 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.
To combat this, our facility features a dedicated Aluminum Room. This positive-pressure, fully enclosed environment isolates your vehicle from the rest of the shop floor. By preventing cross-contamination, we ensure that the metallurgy of your vehicle remains pure and uncompromised. This level of facility sophistication is a mandatory requirement for maintaining our status within the Tesla network.
High-Voltage Safety and Sensor Calibration
Repairing an electric vehicle requires a deep understanding of electrical safety. Our technicians undergo rigorous training to safely power down and work around high-voltage battery packs and drive units. This specialized knowledge protects both our staff and your vehicle’s complex electronics.
Beyond the powertrain, the safety of your driving experience relies on the Autopilot and Full Self-Driving hardware. A network of cameras, radar, and ultrasonic sensors continuously monitors the road. Even a minor fender bender can misalign these sensitive instruments.
- Precision Calibration:
High-Voltage Certified
Rigorous safety training for EV systems
Factory Diagnostics
Official Tesla calibration tools
Recognized for excellence in collision repair, our I-CAR Gold and Platinum certifications ensure top-quality, safe, and expert vehicle repairs.
Why Choose a Tesla Certified Body Shop?
- Tesla’s are equipped with highly advanced driving systems.
- Some repairs require those systems to be calibrated – such as cameras or radar sensors.
- Only a Tesla Certified Body Shop can verify that those systems are operating properly and can perform those calibrations as per the Tesla repair procedures.
- Tesla restricts items such as structural parts, air bags and suspension parts to only its certified shops.
- Take a look at our Aluminum Room, a unique working environment.
Electric vehicles require specific, enhanced training to restore components to pre-accident condition. In certain repairs, components of the High Volatage System, including the battery and drive motor, may have to be removed. To safety execute these repairs, Tony’s Body Shop Repair technicians utilize the same training and equipment that Tesla provides its service centers. Only a Tesla Approved Body Shop provides the training and tooling necessary to safety and effectively repair these state-of-the-art electric vehicles.
As part of Tony’s Body Shop’s Tesla Approved Body Shop certification, our team has direct access to, and will use, only Tesla factory parts during the repair process.
Each Tesla is manufactured with aluminum or a hybrid aluminium-steel body. Aluminum requires extensive training and dedicated equipment to repair properly and to Tesla manufacturer standards. In addition, Tesla has its own strict safety standards in regards to aluminum welding and rivet bonding.
Tesla sets strict standards for its approved collision repair centers and technicians, and closely monitors all Tesla Approved Body Shops for quality, safety and customers experience. So when you choose Tony’s Body Shop, you can be confident you’re getting repairs you can trust.
