From the R1T's innovative gear tunnel and powered tonneau cover to the R1S's sophisticated air suspension and driver assistance systems, every Rivian component requires precise repair protocols and advanced diagnostic capabilities. Our technicians are trained in Rivian's specific repair procedures, including safe high-voltage system isolation, structural aluminum welding and bonding techniques, and the critical calibration of cameras, lidar, and radar sensors that power Driver+ assistance features.
