EV and Hybrid Smash Repairs in Melbourne
Electric and hybrid cars need the knowledge and repair methods after an accident. Vitra Autobodies offers EV smash repairs in Melbourne for Tesla, BYD, MG, GWM, Chery and other electric and hybrid cars.
Our EV-trained team knows the needs for fixing electric cars and uses proper procedures and genuine parts when needed.
EV AND HYBRID REPAIRS FOR EVERY BRAND ON THE ROAD
Electric cars are more common on Melbourne roads. Fixing them after an accident can be different from fixing petrol cars.
At Vitra Autobodies our team has experience fixing EV and hybrid models, including Tesla, BYD, MG, GWM and Chery. We examine each EV carefully to see how damage it has and choose the right repair method.
Our EV smash repairs deal with collision damage, to panels, bumpers, body parts and paint. When needed we get parts made for the brand instead of using generic ones.
We also know that electric and hybrid cars need safety care. Our technicians follow the steps when working near EV systems and will spot when special handling is needed.

Chinese EVs Deserve the Same Care as Any Other Brand
The electric vehicle market now includes a growing number of Chinese manufacturers, each with its own vehicle technology, components and repair requirements.
Our team has experience working with brands such as BYD, MG, GWM and Chery, alongside other EV and hybrid vehicles. We assess the vehicle based on its specific requirements and source appropriate genuine parts where available.
If your vehicle has been involved in an accident, our team can assess the damage and explain which repairs are required. We don’t treat every EV the same way; the repair approach depends on the vehicle, manufacturer and extent of the damage.
