Reviews With Photos - Tesla Service Center

Tesla caused damage to my vehicle and then charged me $1,020 to repair it instead of taking responsibility My problem with the Tesla Service Center at 9250 Trade Place in San Diego is like a surgeon who negligently leaves a towel inside a patient's abdomen during surgery. When the patient develops complications, the surgeon demands payment to remove the towel and treat the resulting damage. My 2021 Tesla Model 3 had a battery replacement under warranty at 29,158 miles. Tesla also replaced the front suspension due to the heavier replacement battery. A few thousand miles later, I started to hear a front-end rattle. At 38,804 miles, Tesla Service in San Diego said the suspension bushing needed to be replaced. I approved the repair and was presented with a bill for $1,020. While reviewing the service summary before payment, I noticed the technician's notes, which stated: "Performed a front suspension torque check and found bolt to RH strut loose which was causing the knocking. Since the bolt was loose it caused the bushing to tear." This is a critical admission. The technician identified a loose right-hand strut bolt as the root cause of the issue. The torn bushing was not normal wear and tear--it was caused by the strut bolt being left loose by Tesla. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I raised this with the Tesla service manager and requested the charge be waived. The request was denied. To retrieve my vehicle, I was required to pay the $1,020 invoice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I informed Tesla in writing that I intended to pursue legal action to recover this amount. I also requested escalation to the Regional Service Manager in hopes of resolving the matter amicably. Unfortunately, Tesla ultimately refused to refund the payment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What makes this even more concerning is the safety aspect. A loose suspension bolt is not a cosmetic issue--it is a serious safety concern. Had the front suspension failed while driving on the freeway, the consequences could have been catastrophic for my family and other motorists. I hope common sense prevails here and Tesla decides to do the right thing, but I'm not holding my breath. Now I will pursue this in court.

Super excited for the Model S loaner.

This was my first time visiting the Tesla Miramar service center, and I was very impressed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Upon arrival, Miguel greeted me, checked me in, and quickly assigned me to a tech, Dayton.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Both Miguel and Dayton immediately seemed to know what was causing the rattling noise from the back left of my car. [[HIGHLIGHT]]About an hour into the repair, I messaged Miguel to mention another concern I had forgotten to bring up. He quickly replied and added it to the day's service without any issue.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Miguel kept me updated throughout the process, and the loaner vehicle was ready with a seamless drop-off and exchange.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Everything was handled seamlessly through the Tesla app, from scheduling the appointment and approving service, to arrival instructions and checkout.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Thank you Miguel and Dayton, for your upbeat energy and outstanding service. You both truly made my experience a GREAT one![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Service: Nose to tail diagnostic checkup at the 4 year mark for my Tesla Model Y. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Easy scheduling.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Very thorough checkup and report. All A's for this truly phenomenal vehicle. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Communication through scheduling, updates from service advisor, and technician details were stellar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Priced below $400. Always a great idea to present your vehicle for a routine checkup as you would your own health.

I attempted a pick up of a new Tesla today. I have been at the pop-up spirit Halloween style delivery center for two hours as they attempt to repair the severely damaged paint. There is massive hard water spots as well as clear coat damage. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Completely ruining my 3rd Tesla purchase experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Crack on the side

I took my Tesla to this service center to have a nail removed from one of the tires. The team handled the repair quickly, and I was happy with how fast the service was completed. However, when I picked up the car, I noticed that the tire they worked on was inflated to 47 PSI, even though Tesla recommends 42 PSI. At the time, I assumed that might be normal after a tire repair, so I didn't think much of it. Unfortunately, the next day while driving, I got a tire pressure warning. I pulled over and saw that the same tire was going flat. Upon closer inspection, I found a tiny crack on the sidewall -- not a puncture or a nail -- but more like internal pressure had caused the side of the tire to split. Given the overinflation, I now believe that the excessive pressure may have caused or contributed to the sidewall damage. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Now, my car is parked at home with a completely flat tire that I can't move. I've reached out to the service center to see how they plan to handle this situation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Since the damage is on the sidewall, the tire can't be repaired and will need to be replaced entirely. And because Tesla tires are often replaced in pairs for balance, I may also need to replace the tire on the opposite side -- turning a simple $40 nail removal into a $1,000 expense.

I've had a lot of issues with my model 3 (all build issues) but Anton and Kevin have been great to work with.
