    New service center opening up in Downtown LA

    Lucid has job postings live now on their site to start staffing a new service center in LA. I do not know the address/location yet, but I'm curious if anyone else has heard about this? This will be a big help to Mitch and his team at Beverly Hills.

    Racoon ran in front of car...gonna be expensive

    Rather than going to the service center, is there a certified Lucid body shop near you? They may be able to get this repaired quicker.

    Lease Returns - Cosmetic repairs

    I have seen a steady increase in 2023/2024 vehicles that are starting to end their leases and need some type of cosmetic repair work before turning in their Lucid. We are happy to offer budget friendly, competitive pricing for forum members who have small issues that need to be resolved before...

    Ordering parts for a Salvaged Air Touring

    All the Lucid certified shops are required to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in tooling and training before they will even refer one customer to us for repairs. So yes, the cost of repair will remain high until the brand sees more penetration into the market. Lucid allows many parts...

    What to Expect: Repair and Labor Costs After Warranty

    Dorns has a great reputation in the industry/community. They were one of the first facilities to get Lucid certified and have a lot of experience with the brand.

    Upcoming events in Los Angeles?

    Hi everybody, I'm happy to help sponsor an event or if there's interest, to host another Lucid & Lattes event at my shop. I don't see anything posted about EVFest for 2026 (unless I missed it). I hope everyone is off to a good 2026 so far.

    Right to Appraisal -- what is it and when to use it

    Many carriers are silently removing this feature on policies without notifying their insureds. The collision repair industry has been working hard to make it mandatory for any auto policy, but that requires legislation. Washington and Texas both recently had this added into their insurance...

    QUESTION Comps question in total loss (options and carfax help)?

    Should you be dissatisfied with their offer, definitely consider using right to appraisal to force them to hire an independent appraiser (along with you hiring one as well) to determine a more reasonable settlement. If you need a recommendation for an appraiser, shoot me a DM or an email and...

    What to expect from insurance

    Given the large disparity between the 2 quotes, the shop is likely going to have trouble getting that approved. You, as the vehicle owner, should hopefully have the right to appraisal on your policy, which can be enacted in the event that the insurance refuses to budge on their price. Each...

    Door Seal Gap - How to fix?

    To echo everyone else, the seals are considered one time use in the service manual because of the double-sided tape they use. We use 3M Adhesion promoter wipes when we install these (which is often), and that ensure the surface is clean and the adhesive gets a strong bite.

    How to change Headlight

    Anyone can access the Lucid techinfo portal, pay the subscription fee, and get into the service manual. In terms of the complexity and engineering of the vehicle, that's a different story. We've had to invest significantly in tooling to be able to service these cars at our facility.

    How to change Headlight

    Yes, the front bumper must be removed, but as much as I applaud you wanting to take this on yourself, a new headlight will not power on without being coded to the car with the Lucid diagnostic software. If you have LiDAR or front facing cameras, other calibrations will also be needed after...

    Delamination

    The roof bow is held on to the glass roof with a lot of very thick urethane. The bead is almost 1" wide, by about 5-6mm tall and runs around the perimeter of the bow. UV exposure would not cause that to lift, but if the urethane is no longer bonded properly to the roof glass panel and it's...

    RESOLVED Glass Canopy in Platinum : Rear Bow Piece Section has Imperfection / Defect.

    You might want to stop in one of the Lucid certified body shops in your area and see if they can carefully wet sand that edge and remove the build up, and then polish the area.

    West Coast Customs x Lucid - GTP - Wow!

    Did they calibrate all the driver assistance systems and cameras after they put the car back together? I only ask as Lucid advised us certified shops that wraps diminish the strength/effectiveness of the radar units in the corners of the bumper.

    Engraved vin on car body ?

    The frunk trim and tub will need to be removed in order to see one of the etched VINs if the windshield VIN is not sufficient.

    San Diego Service Center

    That's the old Progressive service center (which thank god was deemed illegal and forced to shut down). Basically, it was a facility that Progressive would intake damaged vehicles, partially take them apart (Progressive employees), and then triage them out to other body shops. The car would get...

    Rear brake light lens

    The lower trunk panel has to be removed first in order to take the lamp out. This panel is extremely difficult to remove without ripping the tabs off the back. And because that trunk outer panel has to come off, a surround view camera calibration must also be performed. This would be best left...
