Tesla Repairs
Although the Silver Lake Auto & Tire Centers team works on ALL electric models, we are specially trained in Tesla repair work and upkeep. We will be there whenever you need things like power and energy testing, electrical diagnostics, battery diagnostics, motor care, inspections for your car’s transmission drive motor/power inverter system, electric charging system, or cable checks and fixes. Tesla and EV repair more broadly requires an expert pair of hands and eyes. We focus on ensuring your car’s battery is operating at peak performance and its integral wiring and charging capabilities. You don’t have an engine, but that doesn’t mean an EV never needs repair, replacement, or maintenance. We can help with whatever you need throughout the year, and during your appointment, we will even charge your car using a Level 2 adapter. Talk about setting up our clients for success.

Frequently Asked Questions
EVs use high-voltage (HV) battery packs, electric drive units, and software-controlled systems instead of an engine and transmission. Proper EV work means high-voltage disable and lockout/tagout, using insulated PPE (gloves) and CAT-rated meters, and following the manufacturer’s repair procedures end-to-end.
We handle concerns with battery/charging, thermal management (coolant loops and heat pumps), suspension/brakes/tires, 12-V systems, and software-related faults. On battery systems, we include insulation resistance (isolation) testing and checks of orange-cable connections and contactors so the HV side remains safe and healthy.
Yes. No oil changes, but EVs still need tire and brake service, coolant for battery/drive electronics, alignment, cabin filters, and software updates. We follow the brand’s interval and use the correct coolants/procedures for the battery and power electronics, then bleed and verify the system the way the OEM specifies.
Dashboard messages, reduced range, slow or failed charging, unusual noises from the drive unit, or sudden changes in performance or HVAC output. We begin with a non-intrusive HV safety check, scan the EV control modules, verify thermal management operation, and inspect charge port/onboard charger before moving deeper.
It is when done correctly. We isolate and verify zero potential before work, use lockout/tagout, wear tested insulating gloves, and use CAT-rated instruments. We do not lift under the battery pack, follow model-specific lift/jacking points, and after any collision, we perform the OEM post-collision HV and thermal inspections to confirm the pack and cabling are safe.
