EV BODY SHOP NEAR SAN RAFAEL

By EV Central  •  MARCH 21, 2026

San Rafael EV owners who need body work after a collision have a specialist shop just across the Golden Gate. EV Central Service, located at 718 Bryant St in San Francisco’s SoMa neighborhood, is approximately 20 miles and 35 minutes from San Rafael via US-101 South and the Golden Gate Bridge. We specialize exclusively in electric vehicle collision repair — the right shop for your Tesla, Rivian, or any EV.

Why San Rafael EV Owners Drive to EV Central Service

While general body shops exist throughout Marin County, few have the EV-specific expertise to handle Tesla and other electric vehicle collision repairs properly. Battery inspection, structural repair using EV-appropriate materials and techniques, and ADAS sensor calibration require specialized training and equipment that most general shops simply don’t have.

We’ve built our entire operation around EVs — which means when your car arrives at our shop, everyone there knows how to handle it correctly.

Collision Services We Provide

  • Complete collision repair for all EV makes and models
  • Panel and bumper replacement
  • Paint matching and full refinishing
  • Structural and frame alignment
  • Battery enclosure inspection and damage assessment
  • ADAS calibration — cameras, radar, and ultrasonic sensors
  • Glass and windshield replacement
  • Insurance claim coordination

EV Brands We Repair

Tesla (all models), Rivian, Polestar, Chevy Bolt, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and 6, BMW iX and i4, Ford Mustang Mach-E, and other electric vehicles. Marin County’s diverse EV community is well represented in our shop, and we’re equipped to handle each platform correctly.

The Drive from San Rafael

From San Rafael, take US-101 South. Follow the freeway over the Golden Gate Bridge and continue into San Francisco. Exit at 4th St/Bryant St and head to 718 Bryant St. The drive is approximately 35 minutes in normal traffic. Golden Gate Bridge traffic can extend this during peak hours, so morning drop-offs are ideal.

Transparent Process from Start to Finish

You’ll receive a written estimate before any work begins, regular text updates during the repair, and clear documentation of everything done to your vehicle. We work with all major insurance carriers and can help coordinate your claim.
