Rivian Collision and Body Repair in Chino
OCRV Center repairs Rivian R1T and R1S collision and body damage in Chino, with the aluminum and structural repair approach EVs require, and insurance billed direct.
A Rivian R1T and R1S are aluminum-intensive EVs with a structural battery pack under the floor, so a collision behaves differently than it would on a steel truck. Chino owners bring us trucks hit on the trail and in parking lots where the panels crumple but the pack must be respected. At our Yorba Linda shop we repair the body and structure and coordinate the high-voltage side.
Rivian repairs we handle
Rivian panels are aluminum, which cracks and tears rather than creasing like steel, and the structure is bonded and riveted to factory specs. We repair or replace the panels, restore the structure to Rivian data, and refinish to match the factory color and texture. Where damage reaches the battery or high-voltage lines, we coordinate that work with the EV specialist.

Calibration and high-voltage awareness
Rivians carry cameras, radar, and sensors that a collision knocks out of aim, so a repair is not done until those systems are calibrated back to spec. We also treat the high-voltage pack with respect, isolating and coordinating it rather than guessing. The body and structure are ours, and the battery and HV service happen with the EV specialist.
- Sensor, camera, and radar recalibration
- High-voltage isolation coordinated, not improvised
- Battery and pack service with the EV specialist
- Post-repair scan and finish inspection
Frequently asked questions
Do you repair Rivian collision damage and work with insurance?+
Yes, we repair R1T and R1S body and collision damage and bill your insurance carrier direct. We restore the aluminum structure to Rivian data and refinish to match, then coordinate any high-voltage items with the EV specialist. Bring us the claim from Chino and we manage the repair from teardown to delivery.
Can you work on an EV with a damaged battery area?+
Yes, but the split matters. We handle the body and structural repair, and the high-voltage battery and pack service are coordinated with the EV specialist so the pack is isolated and checked safely. We do not improvise around high voltage, which keeps the repair and crew safe.
Does a Rivian need calibration after a collision repair?+
Yes, almost always. Rivians rely on cameras, radar, and sensors that shift out of aim in a collision, so we recalibrate them to factory spec before the truck leaves our Yorba Linda shop. Skipping that step can leave driver-assist features reading the road wrong, so it is part of every applicable repair.
