[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Any body shop. A scrape is a scrape. [/quote]

That may be, but many shops won’t do ANY work on EV’s. I don’t. I won’t even allow EV’s on my lot, let alone inside our building. I do work on hybrids, but they stay in the lot when not in a bay being worked on.

They’re a liability for me. A fire in my shop could easily do a couple million dollars in damage just in facilities damage and tools and DE.

For one thing, I don’t have the charging infrastructure for EV’s. For another, EV’s would jack my insurance (due to fire risk from a car with a damaged battery from a “minor” crash going into thermal runaway, which happens with regularity). Thirdly, none of my service techs have the hazmat certification to deal with EV batteries, and I have no interest at all in subscribing to the crazy high expensive waste disposal services that handle EV battery packs.

So no, “just any shop” will not do service or bodywork on EV’s.  [/quote]

What's the name of your shop so I can be sure never to go there? Talk about scare mongering.[/quote]

Why? So you can leave a bunch of fake Yelp reviews? Get bent.  :roll: [/quote]
