Rivian Collision Repair on a Silver R1S
This R1S was referred by the manufacturer for repair after a minor rear end collision. Our factory-trained Rivian body repair experts repaired this vehicle back to its original condition with original equipment manufacturer parts.
Rivian collision repair is a specialized process, primarily handled through their network of Rivian Certified Collision Centers (RCCCs). These centers have technicians specifically trained to repair Rivian vehicles to manufacturer specifications, utilizing specialized tools and genuine Rivian parts. Due to the advanced technology, unique “skateboard” chassis design integrating critical components like battery packs and motors, and extensive sensor arrays for features like Driver+, even seemingly minor collisions can result in complex and costly repairs. While RCCCs aim to restore vehicles to like-new condition with a lifetime warranty on repairs, owners have reported challenges with part availability and lengthy repair times, sometimes requiring additional calibration and diagnostic work at Rivian service centers after body repairs are complete.
Rivian Collision Repair and Body Repair
Two strong reasons to choose Metropolitan Collision for your Rivian collision repair are:
- They are a Rivian Certified Collision Center (RCCC): This is paramount for Rivian repairs. Being an RCCC means Metropolitan Collision has undergone rigorous training directly from Rivian, possesses the necessary specialized tools, and has direct access to genuine Rivian parts and repair procedures. This ensures your vehicle is repaired to factory specifications, maintaining its safety, performance, and warranty. Non-certified shops simply lack the specific expertise and resources required for these advanced electric vehicles.
- They offer a Lifetime Warranty on Repairs: Metropolitan Collision stands behind their work with a limited lifetime warranty on all repairs (excluding rust and normal wear-and-tear items). This provides significant peace of mind, knowing that the quality of the repair is guaranteed for as long as you own the vehicle, a crucial benefit given the complexity and investment in a Rivian.
