EV Reviver did a great jobs replacing my large drive unit rear electric motor of my 2014 Tesla Model S with a reasonable price (much cheaper and better than Tesla) and did it very quickly. I am very happy with the great job, the quality, the honesty, and the care that Tania, Leon (the owner), and the auto mechanics at EV Reviver provided. If your electric cars have problems with your electric motor or your electric battery, I highly recommend to go to EV Reviver to fix it.Posted on Google Denis BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Leon is great!! He's honest, friendly, and very helpful. Will do buisness again.Posted on Google Gardenia BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I inquired about some repairs to our Model 3, and Leon was very helpful! He provided diagnostic info very quickly! Thank you so much for all your help!Posted on Google Travis NorrisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience with EV Reviver. After calling several other shops and getting the runaround, Leon was a breath of fresh air. He was straightforward, honest, and very easy to communicate with from the start. He was able to get me scheduled quickly, diagnosed the issue with my Model S right away, and had me back on the road the same day. My car had a battery-related error code that was limiting my charge, and he was able to identify and correct it efficiently. The entire process was smooth, transparent, and handled with a high level of professionalism. I highly recommend EV Reviver to any Tesla or EV owner looking for reliable service.Posted on Google Doug WalkerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What makes EV Revivor an exceptional business is that it is run by “car guys”, and even though they work on EVs and Tesla’s they love cars. Also at the Heart of that is the owner and operator- Leon. He is a super all around guy. I traveled from Ventura, California, 2 ½ hours away for him to work on my Model S, and it was totally worth it.Posted on Google V TorderaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you very much for replacing one of my defective battery pack module for my 2015 Model S. Excellent service and now my original battery doesn’t need a 15K new battery replacement. Leon and Team are awesome. Sincerely Virnie and MaritaPosted on Google Raj PatelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Leone is great very respectful and gets things done without any problemsPosted on Google Martin TrimTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It is so rare to see unwaivering integrity these days, but I have to credit Leon for professionally working through every setback that we had with transparency and prioritizing our satisfaction. EV Reviver exceeded our expectations on our Tesla Model S battery upgrade and we will continue to refer others and use them for our future EV needs.Posted on Google David LealTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Leon and his team were amazing! I initially took my car to a Tesla service center. They were difficult to work with and did not take the time to work with me. I then towed my car to ev reviver the experience was night and day. Leon fixed it in two days and my car is now running perfectly.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.

Get answers to common questions about Tesla battery repair and maintenance.
Yes. All Tesla Large Drive Unit (LDU) repairs and rebuilds performed by EV Reviver include flexible parts-and-labor warranty coverage, activated automatically after service completion.
Model S and X use the Large Drive Unit (LDU), which is serviceable and commonly develops bearing wear, coolant seal leaks, and inverter control faults. These units can be diagnosed, rebuilt, and recalibrated to restore smooth power delivery.
Model 3 and Y use the Small Drive Unit (SDU) platform, which has different internal architecture and failure patterns. SDU repairs follow a different diagnostic and service process, and in some cases may require full unit replacement depending on the fault.
A humming, whining, or milling noise in Tesla drive units is typically caused by bearing wear or rotor imbalance inside the motor assembly. In Model S and X LDUs, coolant intrusion can accelerate bearing failure. A proper repair involves full LDU teardown, bearing replacement, rotor balancing, and seal correction to prevent recurrence, not just swapping the unit.
Yes. Model S and X LDUs can be rebuilt. EV Reviver performs bearing replacement, seal repair, inverter service, and calibrated reassembly to restore factory performance. This approach is often more cost-efficient than full unit replacement and helps prevent repeat coolant intrusion with the Coolant Delete upgrade.
We can screen LDU issues remotely by reviewing fault codes, inverter alerts, temperature data, torque output readings, and BMS/drive unit communication errors.
However, confirming LDU failure requires in-shop testing, since problems like bearing wear, coolant intrusion, stator noise, and rotor imbalance cannot be identified through software alone. These require physical inspection, vibration analysis, coolant contamination checks, and inverter load testing.
Remote diagnostics can point in the right direction, but accurate LDU confirmation must be done in-shop.
Our warranty coverage is offered with a time or mileage limit, whichever comes first. This protects against defects in both parts and labor for the duration of your coverage term. Because every repair and battery, drive unit condition is different, your exact warranty term is presented upfront during your estimate, so you always know what’s included before work begins.
Yes. Unlike factory-style long-term warranties that can be expensive and restrictive, we provide shorter, flexible warranty terms designed to match your repair needs and budget. These options lower upfront cost, still include both parts and labor, and provide practical protection without locking you into unnecessary long-term commitments. You get reliable coverage that makes sense, without overpaying for time you don’t need.
