Ottawa service centre now in app?
- Thread starter richyrich
- Start date
Agreed. I'm guessing the fact it's in the app (and you can book into it starting Sept) is a pretty solid sign that it's coming and is definitely there. Didn't think that was for sure until now.
I had a mobile service at home in montreal a few weeks ago. The technician told me that he was from gatineau and that the following monday, a service center in ottawa would be open. Don't know where exactly.

Last time I had a ranger he said they were looking for a space in the Ottawa area for mobile techs to have access to a hoist so they can expand the services that mobile can do.
On the Ottawa Tesla Owners Facebook group there’s been lots of discussion about this. It’s confirmed that Tesla has taken over the service bays at the back of the old Dow Honda building but not the front of the building where you see the For Lease signs. Opening is imminent. Most service in the NCR will still be mobile. This location gives them a place to store parts and operate their home base. As well any appointments that need more than mobile (like needing a hoist) will be done there.

I just got confirmation from Tesla Montreal that a Service Center is coming to Ottawa mid September ;-)

Adding another data point...
I spoke with one of the Mobile Service technicians (Patrick) yesterday and he stated that the service centre (845 Carling) will be open in September. He and others are currently stocking parts inventory, readying the service bays, etc.

Kevin also confirmed to me on Aug 21 that they have "lots of room now" (when discussing parts storage) in the new location.
Note that as far as I've been told by Kevin, it's not currently intended to be a "fully branded and walk in" service and sales centre. It's just a service centre where they will do work they cannot do using the mobile truck/car solutions (to avoid us having to go to Montreal). Kevin said to me that they expect to be able to do almost everything from Ottawa once they have the location fully operational (which should be around now based on what he said to me early in August), with preference being remote/mobile service for convenience, but with the ability to bring cars in to bays as needed to do the heavy/complex/long stuff.

I asked about that too, Patrick said look up:
I don't know if you can see it from Carling Ave.

When driving westbound on Carling, if you're in one of the rightmost 2 lanes and look to the right, the signage is briefly visible as you go past Preston St.
When driving eastbound on Carling, the signage is not visible, though the address number, 835, that's on the front of the building (south face) is clearly visible but not associated with any Tesla logo or sign.
Perhaps this is because Tesla is only occupying only part of 835 Carling, just the building at the back, not at the front?
In either case, the "For Lease" signage has gone and it just looks like an Elections Canada location from the front.
Overall, a big step forward (in my opinion).

FYI this is only a temporary location. Apparently the property is developer-owned and slated for another giant high-rise like the new one across the street so eventually Tesla will have to move, I think that's partly why it's not being made into a full, permanent SC. Tech told me it's a "light" Service Center - for example they can't do BMS software upgrades (which apparently my 3 should have done at some point).

Very weird to see Tesla in the same building I used to take my wife’s old Honda CR-V to for servicing . This was the Dow Honda service building

How many model 3 owners do you think there are in Ottawa? I live downtown and have only seen about 4 or 5
