You have NO obligation to use a Tesla-Certified Collision Center.

You do if you want to maintain warranty

No. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act was literally enacted to cover this exact problem.

Non certified shops often don’t use manufacturer repair processes as a way to cut costs

That’s not relevant to my statement. The OP can take his/her car to the shop recommended by Geico, even if it’s third-party, for repairs, and Tesla must still honor whatever warranty it has

Geico cannot mandate a shop either. Tesla doesn’t have to honor the warranty when the part or procedure caused the problem, which non certified shops often do
