On the roads of Bracknell, Redhill, and Dorking, electric vehicles (EVs) are no longer rare, they’re rapidly becoming the future of driving. From sleek Teslas to practical Volkswagen ID.3s and stylish BMW i4s, Surrey and the South East are embracing electrification at record speed.

But while EVs bring exciting innovations, they also bring unique repair challenges. Unlike petrol or diesel cars, EVs house high-voltage battery packs, advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), and aluminium-heavy body structures. That means accident repairs can’t just be left to any panel beater with a spray gun.

Instead, drivers need a specialist EV-ready body shop, one equipped with the right tools, training, and manufacturer approvals. That’s where Finesse Accident Repair Centres step in. With sites in Bracknell, Redhill, and Dorking, and approvals from Tesla, Audi, BMW, Volkswagen, Volvo, and more, Finesse is trusted by EV drivers across Surrey, London, and the South East.

An EV-ready body shop isn’t just “EV friendly.” It’s a repair centre that has invested in:

• Specialist EV equipment designed for high-voltage systems
• Technician training directly from manufacturers like Tesla and BMW
• OEM-approved repair procedures that safeguard your warranty
• Battery isolation zones and safety protocols to prevent damage

At Finesse, being EV-ready means going above and beyond industry standards to ensure every repair keeps you, your passengers, and your investment safe.

Repairing an EV isn’t as simple as fixing a bumper or respraying a panel. High-voltage systems require specialist isolation tools, and even minor damage to the battery casing can compromise safety.

Protecting High-Voltage Battery Systems

Our technicians follow strict protocols to safely disconnect and protect your EV’s powertrain, ensuring no risk of fire or electrical damage during repairs.

Why Standard Tools Aren’t Enough

A conventional body shop may not have:

• Insulated tools designed for high-voltage handling
• Battery lifting equipment for safe removal and reinstallation
• Thermal management systems to maintain battery health

At Finesse, we invest in the latest EV-safe technology to keep your repair both safe and efficient.

We’re not just “experienced”, we’re certified. Being “experienced” with EVs isn’t enough. That’s why all Finesse technicians receive direct training from manufacturers like Tesla, Audi, BMW, Mini, and Volvo.

Maintaining Your Warranty and Resale Value

Only manufacturer-approved repairs:

• Protect your warranty
• Preserve resale value
• Ensure your EV performs as intended

OEM Parts vs. Aftermarket Parts

We use genuine OEM parts exclusively, guaranteeing that repairs meet strict quality standards. Cheaper aftermarket alternatives may fit poorly, compromise safety, or reduce your vehicle’s long-term reliability.

Modern EVs feature ADAS systems like lane-keeping, adaptive cruise control, and collision avoidance. After repairs, these must be recalibrated, something Finesse handles in-house.

Our aluminium repair bays and alloy wheel restoration services keep your EV looking its best, while our air conditioning diagnostics ensure battery cooling systems work flawlessly for long-term reliability.

That’s why we provide:

With three locations across Bracknell, Redhill, and Dorking, you’re never far from a trusted repair. Our customers come from all over Surrey, West Sussex, and London for our award-winning service and 25+ years of industry experience.

Why Choosing the Wrong Body Shop Could Cost You More

Opting for a non-EV-ready body shop may seem cheaper, but it can:

• Void your warranty
• Compromise battery safety
• Lead to repeated repairs
• Reduce resale value

An EV-ready body shop isn’t just a smart choice, it’s an essential investment in your vehicle’s future.

EV body shops like Finesse are equipped with high-voltage safety tools, EV-specific repair bays, and certified technicians trained in battery and sensor system repairs. This ensures your EV is handled safely and correctly.

Not if you care about warranty, safety, and resale value. Tesla-approved body shops (like Finesse) follow Tesla’s repair guidelines, use genuine parts, and maintain your vehicle’s performance integrity.

Only if the repairs are done incorrectly or with non-approved parts. At Finesse, all repairs are done using OEM-approved procedures and parts, so your warranty stays intact.

Yes. EVs need insulated tools, battery-safe lifts, and diagnostic software that regular garages often don’t have. Finesse is fully equipped for EV repair at all locations.

Absolutely. Most EVs rely on ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) which must be recalibrated after body or structural work. We provide on-site ADAS recalibration.

We are approved to repair Tesla, Audi, BMW, VW, Volvo, and more. If it’s electric and has wheels, chances are we fix it.

When it comes to repairing your EV, not all body shops are created equal. From specialist EV equipment to manufacturer approvals and community trust, choosing an EV-ready body shop like Finesse ensures your vehicle is repaired safely, correctly, and to the highest standards.
