Tesla battery calls in Plant City
Most Plant City Teslas charge in a home garage, in neighborhoods like Plant City. Being plugged in does not protect the 12-volt battery, which can still wear out after a few years, and the touchscreen warning often comes first. Book when you see it and we come to the garage.
Tesla calls in Plant City come from the same crew that covers Valrico & Bloomingdale, Brandon and FishHawk & Lithia.

Questions we get
Do you replace Tesla 12V batteries in Plant City?
Yes, on Teslas with the 12-volt lead-acid battery: Model S and X through 2020 and earlier Model 3 and Model Y. We come to you in Plant City, FL. Call (813) 568-9904.
Do you replace the lithium low-voltage battery on newer Teslas in Plant City?
Normally that goes through Tesla. It is a Tesla part designed for a long life. Send the VIN and we tell you which one you have before anyone drives out.
Is my Tesla a 12-volt or 16-volt car?
It depends on the build date, not just the year. Look under Controls > Software > Additional Vehicle Information, or text us the VIN.
Will a jump start fix a dead Tesla?
External 12-volt power can wake the car enough to open the frunk. If the battery has failed, it still needs to be replaced.
Do you work on the high-voltage battery or Cybertruck?
No. We do not service the drive pack, and Cybertruck's 48-volt system is a Tesla Service job.
