Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Repair in Dagenham
Peter James Motor Group repairs electric and hybrid vehicles in Dagenham. Our technicians are trained for high-voltage systems, so the battery is isolated and the car made electrically safe before any body repair starts. We have safe storage for damaged EVs, follow manufacturer methods for aluminium and bonded structures, and recalibrate the cameras and radar that EVs rely on heavily. Cosmetic work typically starts around £85, with structural or battery-adjacent repairs quoted after inspection and a battery health check. Call 020 8595 2956 or send photos for a free EV repair assessment.
Not every bodyshop can legally touch an electric car. Working near a high-voltage pack without isolating it is dangerous, and many workshops simply refuse EV work or subcontract it. We handle it here.
We repair EVs and hybrids from Dagenham, Romford, Barking, Ilford and Hornchurch and across Essex, including collection if the vehicle is not safe to drive.
What Peter James Motor Group does for Dagenham drivers
- High-voltage trained technicians Battery isolation and safe shutdown carried out before any panel, paint or structural work begins.
- Safe quarantine storage Damaged EVs can be stored safely on site while the battery is assessed, rather than left in a public car park.
- Battery and structure checks We check for pack damage and structural intrusion, and report honestly if the repair is not viable.
- ADAS recalibration Cameras, radar and parking sensors recalibrated after repair, which matters more on EVs with heavy driver assistance.

Common questions
Can you repair electric cars in Dagenham?
Yes. Peter James Motor Group repairs electric and hybrid vehicles with high-voltage trained technicians and safe battery isolation procedures. Call 020 8595 2956 to book an assessment.
Is EV body repair more expensive?
Cosmetic EV repair costs much the same as a petrol car, starting around £85. Structural work can cost more because of aluminium construction and battery safety procedures.
What happens if the battery is damaged?
We assess it, store the vehicle safely and report to you and your insurer. If the pack is compromised the car may be written off, and we will tell you straight away.
Will the repair affect my battery warranty?
Body repair carried out to manufacturer methods with proper high-voltage isolation does not affect the traction battery warranty.
