For Tesla owners across Southern California, EV Reviver offers a dedicated independent alternative for high-voltage battery and drive unit repair, without requiring a trip to a Tesla Service Center.
Operating from its Santa Ana facility, EV Reviver focuses exclusively on the complex electrical systems that define Tesla ownership: high-voltage battery packs running at 350–400V, Battery Management System (BMS) fault diagnosis, and drive unit failure.

OUR APPROACH
Accurate diagnostics come first. EV Reviver identifies the underlying Tesla battery or drive unit fault before recommending a repair or replacement.
Our team evaluates whether module-level intervention, BMS recalibration, or targeted drive unit work can resolve the fault. Alert codes like DI_a062 or BMS_u029 don’t always reveal the full story, making accurate diagnosis critical to determining the right solution.
Accurate Tesla battery diagnostics can identify whether a failing HV battery requires targeted repair, battery replacement, or another solution, before you commit to an unnecessary full-pack replacement. That’s what separates EV Reviver from shops that guess at your expense.
Common Tesla HV battery problems that may require professional diagnostics and repair include:
Codes like BMS_W142 signal degraded isolation resistance, often from moisture intrusion or coolant leakage. These are safety-critical and require prompt attention, but they don’t automatically mean the Tesla battery pack requires full replacement.
BMS_u029 can limit your usable range to 30–50% of normal while the system protects against further cell damage. Targeted Tesla battery module repair is viable in many of these cases.
BMS_u018 and BMS_A064 reflect uneven voltage across cell groups. Tesla battery diagnostics involves thermal mapping and voltage analysis before any repair recommendation is made.
Faults that cap charging at 50% or prevent Supercharging altogether often trace back to weak cell groups or sensor failures, not the entire pack.
The right repair path, whether that means module-level service or full battery pack replacement, depends on your Tesla’s condition and battery eligibility. For Southern California Tesla owners, EV Reviver provides repair options beyond full-pack replacement when appropriate, which is why every repair starts with an accurate diagnosis.

EXCELLENT Based on 39 reviews Posted on Google K LTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am impressed with their team here. Finding a shop that actually understands EV high-voltage systems and software diagnostics—without pushing unnecessary repairs—is rare, but these guys are true specialists. They were fast, honest, transparent with their pricing, and kept me updated. My Model S is running smoothly with zero alert codes now, the job took a little bit longer but was completed well. I paid a fraction of the cost to replace battery in Tesla service center. If need any top-tier EV expertise without dealership prices or endless waiting, this is hands-down the best shop in town.Posted on Google Kyu Ho ChangTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had to replace LDU with EV REVIVER and Leon gave me good repair cost other than anther repair shop. If someone ask me for repair Tesla, I would recommend EV REVIVER for sure. Thank you Leon.Posted on Google heidi changTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wish I found this place sooner! Staff was friendly and communicative, service was quick, and it was way more affordable than getting repairs done at a Tesla service center!Posted on Google Vittorio RotelliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I brought my 2017 Tesla Model S 100d—Midnight—to EVReviver with an inoperative battery. Before bringing it in, I sent Leon screenshots of the fault codes, and he gave me a clear price range for the repair. Once they had the car, it only took a couple of days to diagnose and fix the issue, turning a nonfunctioning Tesla into a fully operational car again. They stuck to the quoted price with no surprises. Leon and Mitch were both great to work with. Communication was excellent, especially by text when I was busy, and their online dashboard made it easy to follow the car’s progress and make payment. Here are a couple of before-and-after photos—the results speak for themselves. I highly recommend EVReviver to anyone dealing with a Tesla battery issue.Car is alive again and i didn't need to replace a whole High Voltage battery! 172k miles and still kicking!Posted on Google Corey EbbinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I traveled all the way from Las Vegas to have my 2016 Tesla model X battery replaced at EV reviver spoke with someone at Tesla. They said they could only replace my 90 D battery with another 90 D battery. Leon and his staff were able to put a 100 D battery in my car. I wish I could give Leon an EV reviver more than five stars.Posted on Google linh nguyenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank you Leon for your quality, integrity, friendly and professional work. I highly recommend this service for anyone who need a battery replacement.Posted on Google Bethany HaysTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Leon and his crew are absolutely incredible, very attentive and sweet, also knowledgeable and explain everything thoroughly. They are super efficient and on the money when it comes to projected time frame and pricing. I was estimated 10k + for something they did for under 4k, the best around in my opinion.

The Tesla drive unit is a complex system, making accurate diagnosis critical before repair or replacement. This is especially important for Model S and Model X vehicles equipped with the Large Drive Unit (LDU).
EV Reviver’s drive unit services focus on eligible LDU systems in select Model S and Model X applications. For owners seeking Tesla drive unit repair in Southern California, recognizing recurring failure patterns can help determine when diagnostics are needed. Key concerns worth identifying before repair include:
Coolant leaking into the drive unit can create internal contamination, contribute to isolation faults, and accelerate electrical degradation within the motor assembly.
Drive inverter alerts, including codes within the DI series, can indicate a loss of electrical isolation. Proper diagnosis helps determine whether the fault originates within the drive unit or elsewhere in the high-voltage system.
Bearing wear, rotor imbalance, and other internal mechanical issues can produce unusual noise or vibration. These symptoms can provide important clues when identifying the source of a drive unit problem.
Sudden changes in acceleration, reduced power, or drivetrain alerts may indicate electrical, thermal, or inverter-related problems that require further diagnosis.
Start with an accurate diagnosis at EV Reviver. Our Tesla drive unit specialists identify the specific failure to determine whether targeted LDU repair can resolve the issue or drive unit replacement is necessary.
