Quarter panel replacement prices
These are indicative starting budgets for one damaged side. A physical inspection confirms whether you need an outer-panel repair, a permitted replacement section or a larger assembly. Your written estimate confirms VAT and the total before work begins.
| Tesla model | Replacement budget |
|---|---|
| Model 3 | From AED 3,600 |
| Model Y | From AED 3,900 |
| Model S | From AED 4,800 |
| Model X | From AED 5,500 |
A repair may cost less. Localised cosmetic damage may be repairable without replacing the panel. We compare the suitable options in your written estimate.
Keep what can be saved
Repair or replace the panel?
The quarter panel is the fixed bodywork around the rear wheel, between the rear door and bumper. A scuff on the bumper alone needs a different repair. We check the actual panel damage before recommending replacement.
Paintless dent removal
A suitable dent with intact paint may be corrected through paintless dent removal. Access, metal condition and the position of the dent determine whether this can preserve the original finish.
Panel repair and repaint
Some dents, scratches and local damage can be repaired and refinished. We assess the panel and its joints, then compare the work with replacement. Damaged paint alone does not mean the whole quarter must come off.
Section or complete replacement
Where repair is unsuitable, the answer may be a permitted section or the complete outer assembly. The damage location and model-specific repair procedure decide which option is appropriate.
Unsure how much needs replacing?
Send a full rear-corner photo and a close-up. We will help you arrange the right inspection.
Beyond the visible dent
Check the whole rear corner
A rear-quarter impact can move brackets or damage parts behind the outer skin. Select an area to see what we check before fitting and painting.
We check creases, paint damage and arch shape. The repaired edge needs tyre clearance and a clean line into the surrounding panels.
A harder impact can affect the wheelhouse, rear pillar and nearby door or tailgate opening. Tell us about uneven gaps or a door that catches.
The flap, housing and nearby connections may need checking. Report a sticking flap or any change in charging after the impact.
We check tail-light mounts, bumper brackets, quarter glass and seals around the repair. Fit and sealing matter as much as the painted surface.
If bodywork touches the tyre, a door will not latch, or electrical warnings appear after an impact, contact us before driving. For damage across several panels, our Tesla body shop can assess the wider repair.
Matched to your Tesla
Four models, different repair details
We use the VIN and model year to identify the panel and the relevant repair method. Tesla body construction and service parts vary across generations, so the model name alone is not enough to order correctly.
Model 3
Door gap and wheel archThe rear door, wheel arch and tail-light edge need to meet cleanly. Earlier and updated Model 3 versions require their own parts and repair checks.
Model Y
Glass and rear openingsQuarter-panel work sits close to the liftgate, rear door and fixed glass. Build year matters when selecting parts for earlier and updated Model Y vehicles.
Model S
Long, continuous body linesPanel alignment is especially visible along the rear body line. The generation and permitted repair area decide whether a section or complete assembly is suitable.
Model X
Rear-door fit and sealsDamage beside the Falcon Wing door needs attention to the opening and seals as well as the outer panel. We assess these together.
The finish you will notice
Body lines, colour and sealing
A good result needs the panel to fit before it is painted. We check its relationship with the rear door, bumper and tail light, then prepare the surface and match the finish to the car.
Consistent panel gaps
Edges should follow the surrounding bodywork without the quarter sitting proud or the adjacent opening catching. We check these areas during fitting and again after reassembly.
Colour checked on the car
The paint code is the starting point. Metallic, pearl and multi-coat finishes may need colour adjustment and blending into an adjacent panel, which is discussed in the estimate.
Protection behind the paint
The specified joining method, seam sealing and corrosion protection matter after a panel is replaced. Removed liners, trims and seals also need to be refitted correctly.
From estimate to collection
How the work moves forward
You receive a repair recommendation and estimate before work begins. If dismantling reveals additional damage, we explain what has changed before proceeding with extra repairs.
Inspect and agree
We review the damage, identify the vehicle and agree the repair, parts and paint work. Photos help with initial guidance; inspection confirms the job.
Prepare and fit
Required trim and access components are removed. EV precautions and the model-specific procedure guide the work. Joining can involve specified structural adhesive, rivets or welding, depending on the repair position.
Refinish and reassemble
The prepared panel is painted, with agreed blending where needed. Glass, lights, seals and trim removed for access are refitted.
Check and hand over
We review the finish, panel gaps and relevant functions around the repaired corner. You can inspect the completed work at collection.
How long should you allow?
With parts available, straightforward quarter-panel work may take a few days to around a week. A larger assembly, hidden damage, glass work or parts waiting time can extend this. We discuss the expected completion date after inspection and update it if the repair changes.
Can you quote from photos?
Photos help us assess the visible damage and give initial price guidance. A confirmed estimate needs inspection because the inner panel, mounting points and access work may not be visible. Send a wide view, close-ups and any warning messages.
Does a deep crease mean replacement?
A deep crease needs assessment, but appearance alone does not settle the repair. Material, location and the condition of the joints matter. We check whether a repair is permitted and practical before recommending a section or full replacement.
Will you replace the whole side?
Not automatically. Some damage can be repaired, and some models allow replacement of defined sections. The relevant procedure sets the permitted repair area. Damage to the inner structure may require additional work beyond the visible outer panel.
Are the replacement parts genuine?
We use genuine Tesla replacement parts for this work and confirm the correct panel against your vehicle details. Your estimate identifies the part required. Availability and delivery time are checked before a completion date is agreed.
Will the repaired paint be noticeable?
We aim for a consistent colour and finish across the repaired area. Matching includes checking the existing paint and deciding whether adjoining panels need blending. Previous repainting and multi-coat colours can affect the work required.
Does this affect my Tesla warranty?
Tesla allows non-warranty work at an independent workshop, but problems caused by improper third-party repairs are not covered by Tesla. Vehicle warranty and the warranty on the repair are separate. Ask us to confirm the repair terms with your estimate.
Can I drive with quarter-panel damage?
A surface scrape may be cosmetic. Tyre contact, loose metal, an insecure door, damaged lights or new electrical warnings need assessment before driving. Call us with the symptoms and photos so we can discuss bringing the vehicle in safely.
Should I speak to my insurer first?
If you intend to claim, check your policy and the insurer’s repair approval requirements before authorising work. We can discuss the estimate with you, but the insurer decides what your policy covers and whether the workshop can carry out the claim repair.
