Tesla-approved bodyshops near Shetland
We don't know of a Tesla-approved bodyshop in Shetland itself. The nearest is Elder and Paton in , about 221 miles from the middle of Shetland. The closest options are below, each with its town and distance. Many approved repairers collect the car or arrange recovery, so ask when you ring.
Everything below is on the Scottish mainland, so the ferry (or shipping the car) is part of the trip. For routine jobs, a local garage with high-voltage EV training is often the practical first call.
Tesla-approved bodyshops are independent repairers that Tesla has checked for training, equipment and use of genuine parts. They are the ones to use after an accident — insurers and Tesla expect it. No business pays to be listed here.

After an accident: what to do
- Make the car and people safe. Hazards on, get everyone out to a safe place, and call 999 if anyone is hurt. If the car has a high-voltage warning, smoke or a strong smell, keep well clear and tell the emergency services it is an electric car.
- Call your insurer before booking a repair. Most policies have a list of approved repairers. Ask them to use a Tesla-approved bodyshop — many insurers already route Teslas to one.
- Use the Tesla app for recovery. Roadside assistance is requested in the Tesla app. Teslas need to be moved the right way (flatbed, not towed on their wheels), so tell any recovery company it is a Tesla.
- Ask the bodyshop the right questions. Do they use genuine Tesla parts? Can they do camera and sensor (ADAS) calibration after the repair? Will they send photos and an estimate before starting?
- Check the car when you collect it. Panel gaps and paint match in daylight, Autopilot cameras working with no warnings, and keep the invoice — it matters for warranty and resale.
Tesla accident repair in Shetland: quick answers
Where is the nearest Tesla-approved bodyshop to Shetland?
Elder and Paton in , about 221 miles from the middle of Shetland.
Do I have to use a Tesla-approved bodyshop?
Not by law, but your insurer may require one of its approved repairers, and a Tesla-approved bodyshop has the training, equipment and genuine parts to repair the structure, high-voltage system and driver-assistance sensors properly. Using one also avoids arguments about warranty later.
Can a normal garage fix accident damage on a Tesla?
Small cosmetic jobs such as scuffs, dents or chips are often fine at a good independent. Anything structural, anything near the battery, or anything that affects cameras and sensors should go to a Tesla-approved bodyshop.
