Consumer Reports finds that the price to fix the aluminum body of the new pickup is similar to what it costs to repair the steel-bodied version. The important thing to remember is to take it to a shop certified by Ford in aluminum repair.

Here's hoping that as more body shops gain experience with the aluminum body panels used on vehicle with the highest sales in the US, that repair costs for the Model S will drop as well...
