Alignment

A proper wheel alignment ensures your Tesla drives straight, reduces inner tire wear, and maintains range efficiency. We use Tesla-specific lift adapters (pucks) and ballast bags to simulate real-world weight distribution during alignment. With precision equipment and EV expertise, we ensure a smooth, stable ride every time.

Tires

Proper tire maintenance is crucial for optimal performance and safety. Many Tesla tires also contain acoustic foam, which helps reduce road noise and improve ride comfort. We provide comprehensive tire services for your Tesla, including rotations, balancing, tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensors, and replacements. Since Teslas are heavy vehicles with powerful torque, ensuring your tires are in top condition—with the correct load index—is essential for maximizing efficiency, supporting your Tesla’s added weight, and preventing uneven wear.

Wheels

Looking to upgrade your Tesla’s style or extend your tire life? We offer both factory-style and custom rims, plus expert guidance to help you choose the perfect setup. Many Tesla owners opt for a “square” fitment (where all 4 rims are the same size) to allow tire rotation and reduce uneven treadwear over time. Want a fresh look without replacing your wheels? We also offer professional powder coating in a range of finishes—from stealthy satin black to bold custom colors. Whether you’re going for subtle refinement or a completely new vibe, we’ll help your Tesla stand out!

Lighting

Proper lighting is essential for driving safety, especially at night. If your Tesla’s headlights, taillights, or turn signals are dim or not working, it’s time to have them checked. We offer bulb replacements and electrical system diagnostics to ensure your lights are functioning correctly and that you’re visible to other drivers.

 

Brakes

While Teslas use regenerative braking, the traditional braking system still requires periodic maintenance. We offer brake inspections, caliper lubrication, pad/rotor replacements, and brake fluid checks to ensure that your Tesla’s braking system is in optimal condition. Don’t wait until there’s an issue—regular brake maintenance can help prevent costly repairs down the road.

Suspension

Excessive inner rear treadwear is a known issue on Teslas. We offer custom suspension upgrades, including adjustable camber arms, to improve factory geometry and extend tire life – often covering the cost of the upgrade within a year. Improve ride quality, handling, and long-term performance with solutions built for your Tesla.

Cabin Air Filter

Noticing an unpleasant smell in your Tesla? Your cabin air filter helps maintain air quality inside the vehicle by filtering out dust, pollen, and pollutants. Over time, the filter can become clogged and reduce airflow, affecting the comfort of your ride. We recommend replacement annually to keep your cabin air fresh and clean.

HEPA Filter

The HEPA filter powers your Tesla’s Bioweapon Defense Mode, which is designed to trap ultra-fine particles like smoke, allergens, and airborne pollutants before they reach the cabin. Over time, this high-efficiency filter can become saturated, reducing airflow and compromising air quality. We recommend replacing the HEPA filter at regular intervals to maintain clean, breathable air inside your vehicle — especially in urban areas like DFW.

Windshield Wipers

Maintaining clear visibility is crucial for safe driving. Your Tesla’s windshield wipers and fluid system are vital for keeping the glass free of rain, dirt, and debris. We offer wiper blade replacements and fluid top-offs to ensure you’re always prepared for the elements, no matter the weather.

Derek Gilboe

I was looking for a place for an alignment for me Tesla that didn’t require a multi-week wait at a service center and decided to check our Patriot Express. This turned our to be a great choice as they can also do both in car and HEPA filter changes which are very difficult and time consuming! The total bill was very reasonable and I’d add that I got in same day! I was so impressed that I’ve also had them quote some suspension upgrades from Unplugged Performance so that after the next rotation the suspension can be adjusted easily for both toe and camber, improving handling and tire wear! This is a great full service shop that will get things right the first time for a fair price!

Very friendly. Efficient. Got my car tested and aligned, and provided a shot of the machine’s screen so I could see the before and after. I had just got new tires on my Tesla, and wanted them to last (very expensive!!!) so knew I should get an alignment. Newly remodeled and fresh waiting room.

Stephen Baldwin

Excellent service. I had suspension work and an alignment done on my Tesla Model Y and I could not be happier with the overall service and quality of work. They went out of their way to ensure it was a smooth process and I was informed as each step was undertaken. I had a really good chat with the mechanic who worked on my car. I highly recommend Patriot Express.

Brandon Guo

Landon was very helpful and understanding when assisting me. Repairs were timely and communication was frequent. Brent also helped me out with towing services because I could not get my car to the shop. I’ve gotten work done several times here now, and will keep coming back with all my future needs!

Services

Tires

Tesla tires face unique challenges—heavy EV weight, rear inner treadwear, and the need for acoustic foam to keep the cabin quiet. We provide expert installation, balancing, and rotation to extend tire life and improve handling. Whether you need new tires or repairs, we deliver smooth, reliable performance built for your Tesla.

Alignment

Teslas are prone to rear camber issues that cause inner treadwear. Our precision alignment service corrects misalignment to improve handling, extend tire life, and maintain safety. We use state-of-the-art equipment to keep your Tesla driving straight and stable.

 

Brakes

Because EVs rely heavily on regenerative braking, traditional brake components can seize from lack of use. We inspect pads, rotors, and perform caliper lubrication to prevent sticking and corrosion. Keep your braking system smooth, quiet, and reliable with expert Tesla care.
