The small battery that makes a Tesla look dead
We come to your Tesla in Westchase and replace the 12-volt low-voltage battery that runs the screen, handles and computers. We check the VIN first, so you know before we arrive whether yours is a 12-volt or 16-volt lithium car. Call (813) 568-9904 or text the year, model and VIN.
Tesla service around Westchase
Most Westchase Teslas charge in a home garage, in neighborhoods like Westchase. 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.
Besides Westchase itself, the same Hillsborough County route takes in Town 'n' Country, Oldsmar and Safety Harbor.

Questions we get
Can you replace my Tesla low-voltage battery at home in Westchase?
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 Westchase, FL. Call (813) 568-9904.
Do you replace the lithium low-voltage battery on newer Teslas in Westchase?
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.
