Our Tesla Credentials
Williams Body Works is the only Tesla Approved Body Shop serving Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, the Hunter Valley, Port Stephens, Maitland, Muswellbrook and Singleton. This isn't a self-awarded title — it's a manufacturer certification backed by factory training, approved tooling and ongoing compliance with Tesla's repair standards.
Tesla Approved Body Shops are factory trained and equipped to rebuild Tesla vehicles to original manufacturer specifications — for structural integrity, safety performance and quality of finish. Not every repairer can meet that standard. We do.
Aluminium Welding
Tesla vehicles — particularly the Model S, Model X and the newer Model 3 and Y — use advanced aluminium alloy construction in their body structures. Aluminium behaves very differently to steel under impact and during repair. It requires specialist welding techniques, dedicated equipment and a clean, contamination-free environment.
Our technicians are certified aluminium welders with hands-on Tesla experience. We use a dedicated aluminium welding and panel repair facility — completely separate from our steel welding area — to prevent cross-contamination. This is non-negotiable for Tesla repairs and a standard many general repairers simply cannot meet.

Dedicated aluminium repair zone — contamination-controlled
Aluminium-specific dent and panel repair techniques
Full structural measurement before and after repair
Steel Welding & High-Strength Structural Repair
Tesla vehicles also incorporate ultra-high-strength steel (UHSS) in critical structural areas — including the B-pillars, floor rails and reinforcement zones. These materials require precise heat management and manufacturer-approved welding procedures. Incorrect repairs can compromise crash performance and passenger safety.
Our team are trained in UHSS welding and use OEM-approved riveting and bonding procedures alongside traditional MIG/MAG welding. Every structural repair is measured against Tesla's factory specifications using our Spanesi measurement system.

Tesla Training & Certification
Our owner Kyle has been working with Tesla vehicles for 5–6 years — longer than most repairers in NSW. Our technicians have completed Tesla's specialist training programme, which covers vehicle architecture, repair methodology, materials handling and safety protocols around high-voltage battery systems.
This training isn't a one-off. Tesla updates its repair procedures as new models are released and as technology evolves. We stay current — because your Tesla deserves nothing less.
Repairing Electric Vehicles
What You Need to Know
Electric vehicles are fundamentally different to internal combustion engine cars — and not just under the bonnet. The battery pack, power electronics and high-voltage cabling run throughout the vehicle structure. A collision — even a seemingly minor one — can affect these systems in ways that aren't immediately visible.
That's why EV repairs should only be carried out by trained specialists. At Williams Body Works, our technicians are trained in:
High-voltage system awareness and safe working procedures
Battery inspection and damage assessment post-collision
EV-specific structural repair protocols
Software recalibration requirements after ADAS (driver assistance) sensor repairs
Correct handling and disposal of EV materials
We work closely with Tesla's technical support network to ensure every repair is carried out correctly — and safely — from start to finish.
