EV Collision Repair in Brooklyn.

Electric Vehicles Are Built Differently. Repair Them That Way.

An EV carries its battery pack low and wide, right where side and underbody impacts land. Around it sits a mix of aluminum, high-strength steel, castings and structural adhesive. Heat from careless welding, a pulled mounting point, or an aftermarket panel in the wrong place does not just look bad — it changes how the vehicle protects the pack in the next collision.

Frontline Automotive treats every electric and hybrid repair as a high-voltage job first and a body job second. The vehicle is safely powered down and isolated, the battery enclosure and orange cabling are inspected for damage, and only then does panel, structural and paint work begin. Sensors are recalibrated at the end, and the vehicle is scanned and road tested before you get the keys.

Whether you drive a Tesla, a Rivian, an Ioniq, a Mustang Mach-E, a Bolt, an EV6 or a hybrid Camry, the same principle applies: factory procedures, OEM parts on structural and safety components, and documentation your insurer can follow.

Our EV Repair Process.

1. 01

   Free Digital Estimate

   Send photos of the damage through our contact form and we reply within 24 hours with a preliminary estimate.

2. 02

   High-Voltage Isolation

   The vehicle is powered down, the high-voltage system isolated, and the battery area inspected for intrusion or deformation.

3. 03

   Damage Analysis & Repair Plan

   We pull manufacturer procedures for your specific model and build the repair blueprint, including required calibrations.

4. 04

   Structural & Panel Work

   Aluminum welding, rivet bonding, panel replacement and measured straightening using OEM components.

5. 05

   Paint & Blend

   Spectrophotometer color match, downdraft booth application and blending into adjacent panels for a factory finish.

6. 06

   Calibration, Scan & Road Test

   Sensors are recalibrated, a post-repair scan confirms no active faults, and the car is road tested and detailed before pickup.

Common Questions.

Do you repair electric vehicles in Brooklyn?

Yes. We repair electric and hybrid vehicles including Tesla Model 3, Model Y, Model S and Model X, plus EV and hybrid models from Rivian, Lucid, Hyundai, Kia, Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volkswagen, Volvo, Toyota, Honda, Nissan and Lexus.

Is high-voltage damage dangerous after a collision?

It can be. A damaged battery enclosure, cut orange cabling or a deformed floor pan needs to be treated as live until proven otherwise. Every EV that comes in is powered down and the high-voltage system isolated before panel or structural work begins.

Why do EV repairs cost more than gas car repairs?

EVs use more aluminum, more bonded and riveted structure, more sensors, and a battery pack that sits in the crash path. Those materials require specific procedures and OEM parts. We document all of it so your insurer sees why each operation is necessary rather than declining it.

Do you calibrate driver-assist sensors on EVs?

Yes. Electric vehicles depend heavily on cameras, radar and ultrasonic sensors. After any bumper, glass, mirror or suspension work, we recalibrate those systems and provide the post-repair scan.

Can you match EV paint finishes?

Yes. Multi-coat whites, deep metallic blues and satin blacks are matched with spectrophotometer readings, sprayed in a downdraft booth and blended into adjacent panels so the repair is invisible.

How long does an EV collision repair take?

Light panel and bumper work is often a few days. Structural or battery-adjacent damage typically runs two to four weeks, mostly driven by OEM parts availability. We keep you updated at each stage rather than leaving you guessing.
