Model 3 service and repair
Tesla started building the Model 3 in 2017. It has a reputation for running a long time with little fuss.

Low maintenance still means some maintenance
No oil, no spark plugs. You do still have cabin filters, brake fluid, coolant and A/C parts that age on a schedule. Skip them and they tend to turn into bigger repairs later.
As the miles climb, we also replace drive unit bushings and mounts on the Model 3.

“Chris, the owner, helped me with a Tesla problem that is common on Model 3 vehicles that few people are equipped to handle outside of the manufacturer. They did an excellent job by being timely, affordable, and responsive throughout our engagement. I recommend Mesman Motors!”
