The small battery that makes a Tesla look dead
We come to your Tesla in Wesley Chapel 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.
Where we work on Teslas in Wesley Chapel
In Wesley Chapel the usual setup is a Tesla in the garage or driveway in Wesley Chapel. We need the front of the car reachable to open the frunk. If the car is nose-in against a wall or storage shelves, clear a little room before we arrive.
Wesley Chapel is in Pasco County. We cover it along with New Tampa, Land O’ Lakes and Zephyrhills.

Questions we get
Do you replace Tesla 12V batteries in Wesley Chapel?
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 Wesley Chapel, FL. Call (813) 568-9904.
My Tesla has the 16-volt lithium battery. Can you replace it?
Those are Tesla parts built to last much longer than the old 12-volt. If the VIN shows a lithium low-voltage battery, we tell you before we come out, and in most cases Tesla Service is the right route.
How do I know which low-voltage battery my Tesla has?
On the touchscreen, go to Controls > Software > Additional Vehicle Information. Or send us the VIN and we check.
My Tesla is dead in a Wesley Chapel garage. What do I do?
Leave it where it is and call us with the location and VIN. With external power we can open the frunk and, on 12-volt cars, replace the battery right there.
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.
