Electric and Hybrid vehicles are becoming a far more common sight on our roads today and these vehicles require specially trained repair technicians to look after them correctly.
We have invested heavily in technician training through our manufacturer partners at Tesla, Jaguar, Land Rover, Volkswagen Group & Lamborghini to ensure that we can safely ‘power down’ electric & hybrid vehicles, to enable safe working when structural repairs are required.
Our expert technicians have the specialist knowledge and awareness of safe working practices when carrying out body repairs to Electric and Hybrid vehicles, utilising the latest high voltage tooling and state of the art equipment necessary to powder down and work safely on any Electric vehicle at our BodyShop in line with manufacturer standards.
We are the only JLR aluminium structural body & paint specialist in the Yorkshire & North East region that has a team of qualified JLR EV Competence assessed staff, ensuring prompt action, diagnosis, and safe handling of ALL EV vehicles.
We are also an approved BodyShop for Tesla Leeds, just to add to our ever-growing Manufacturer approvals.
With both qualified EVCP (Electric Vehicle Competent Person) technicians, and a senior EVAP (Electric Vehicle Authorised Person), all of our MET technical team are officially certified to work on not just JLR Electric vehicles but all EVs, from moderate repair work to structural and battery removal and refitment.
