Tesla opens another new repair centre in Australia

The number of Tesla vehicles in Australia continues to grow, with over 105,000 Tesla-branded EVs sold in the country. In the past 12 months, the company has announced that it aims to open multiple body repair centres nationwide to help repair vehicles in-house.

Now, its newest body repair centre has officially opened in Brisbane. The company announced this on its X page with a picture of the centre along with the team.

In the photo, the Tesla’s Brisbane repair centre team is standing in front of what appears to be a paint repair section of the new centre.

This section contains two vehicle preparation bays before the vehicle heading into the spray booth to receive a fresh coat of paint on the repaired body panels.

Also in the photo, three vehicles are spotted with a white Model Y SUV that appears to have no rear bumper and is likely under repair. 

Along with that, a new black Model 3 Performance is also seen parked at the front of the shop highlighting the capabilities of the repair centre to undertake body works on all Tesla models.

The new Tesla Brisbane body repair centre is located in Eagle Farm at 562 Curtin Ave East, Eagle Farm, QLD, 4009 and is only 13 km north-east of the CBD.

Back in April 2023, Tesla advertised various jobs on its careers page that hinted at the leading EV maker bringing its in-house repair centres to Australia.

These roles were being hired for across three cities on the east coast including Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne.

In April 2024, the company opened its first Australian centre in Alexandria, NSW which is located in metropolitan Sydney. This is also close to one of Tesla’s busiest new vehicle delivery centres in the country.

Up until the opening of the first Alexandria repair centre, Tesla has operated the Tesla-Approved Collision Centres which are run by external body repair operators.

Having in-house collision body centres would fast-track the process for customers needing body works, especially in metropolitan areas of Brisbane, Sydney and expectedly Melbourne shortly.

With the Brisbane and Sydney repair centres now taking customer requests, works on the Melbourne location is likely to be progressing as well, helping more Teslas stay on the road longer.
