EV repair near you

Tesla repair near Bird Road

Sprinter Garage is at 7217 SW 42nd St in Miami, one block south of Bird Road and just east of the Palmetto Expressway.

Plenty of Miami Teslas charge at home or at a Supercharger. When something goes wrong between charges, you have an independent option in Miami.

What Tesla does and what we do

Tesla's own service network handles warranty repairs, recalls and anything that needs a software step only Tesla can do. We handle the rest: out-of-warranty repairs, the low-voltage battery, brakes, tires and alignment, charge port and onboard charger faults, diagnostics and second opinions, and battery health reports for used Teslas.

We run your VIN first, so you know which side a repair falls on before you pay anyone.

Tesla problems South Florida speeds up

Heat shortens the life of the low-voltage battery, the small battery that wakes the car up. When it fails, the car can go dark even with plenty of range. Older Teslas use a 12V battery and many newer ones use a 16V lithium battery; we test yours and tell you which one it has.

Regenerative braking means the brake pads barely move, and in our humidity the rotors rust and the calipers stick. Heavy cars with instant torque also wear tires fast, often on the inside edges when the alignment is off. Daily charging is hard on charge port doors and latches, too.

Buying or selling a used Tesla

A used Tesla's value lives in its battery. Our high-voltage battery health check comes with a written report you can show a buyer or a seller, plus a check for open recalls and the condition of the tires and brakes.

Questions people ask

Can you work on my Tesla if it is still under warranty?
We check first. Repairs covered by Tesla's warranty or a recall go to Tesla, because an independent shop cannot do that work. Tires, brakes, cabin filters and repairs the warranty does not cover can be done here.
Will using an independent shop void my Tesla warranty?
No. Federal law says a manufacturer cannot void your warranty because you used an independent shop for maintenance or repairs. Keep your invoices as your record.
Why is my Tesla dead when the app showed plenty of range?
The range number is the big high-voltage battery. The car also has a small low-voltage battery that runs the computers and door locks and wakes the big battery up. When that small battery fails, nothing turns on. Heat shortens its life, so it is worth testing once a year.
Why do my Tesla brakes grind if I barely use them?
Because you barely use them. Regenerative braking does most of the stopping, so the pads and rotors sit still and rust in our humidity, and the caliper slides stick. A brake cleaning and lubrication often fixes it before you need new pads or rotors.
Do you do Tesla software updates?
No. Software updates come from Tesla over the air. If a repair needs a step only Tesla can do, we tell you before we quote.
Is Sprinter Garage a Tesla approved shop?
No. Sprinter Garage is an independent shop and is not part of Tesla's service network. That is exactly why we check warranty and recalls first and send covered work to Tesla.
