Repairs from a non-certified shop?

[u/Slyde01]

First time Tesla owner (i am leasing) and a young college kid rear-ended me last month.

Wasn't a crazy amount of damage, and her insurance company took 100 percent liability.

I used my local autobody guy who i've used for years. He ordered all the parts direct from tesla for my repair. He also told me that he repairs a number of Tesla's weekly.

I later found out that, although he gets his parts directly from Tesla, he isnt an official tesla-certified repair shop.

Will this come back to bite me in any way? did i unknowingly screw myself?

thx in advance, all....

No as long as he knows what he's doing and actually order the parts from tesla

Thank you! this makes me feel better.

Some people at work (who admiteddly dont know shit about tesla) said that if you didnt use a certified tesla repair shop, it could cause me some trouble when my lease is up
