X-Care Experiences

[ron81]

Your choice ron81, I know how Xcare works and have used it with no problems. Actually going in Monday for another Tesla repair. Xcare service has been stellar for me in the past and now in the future. Personally I have never heard of Evolve so I have no idea how their service is or what other people have said about them. The price sounds good but you usually get what you pay for.

Yeah, prior quotes for xcare were good, but now xcare quotes are way steep and seems rip off (at same time old Tesla car values going to ground)

I guess either explorer more warranty companies or learn DIY (which is getting easier with parts and instructions availability)

While you are correct Tesla car values are dropping, the costs associated with fixing them are still very high. Just something to think about...

huge gap in pricing on 2019 MX : i.e Xcare around $6500 VS $3K on evolve (For same 6 yr, 75K miles, no deductible)

per Evolve contract - If it's covered under the Tesla's manufacturer warranty, it is covered under this factory warranty unless stated otherwise in the extended warranty.

Does Evolve cover DU and battery? XC changed their pricing a while back and now include DU/battery with eligible vehicles.

You know what a rip off is? Tesla charging $1100 for a single headlight replacement. You know whats not a ripoff? X-Care covering it.

$1100 is a great price! Most other luxury cars charge $2000. No competition.

How many headlights have you replaced DerbyDave on your Tesla or other cars that you claim charge $2000?

 

[DerbyDave]

2017 Audi A4, $2500
2018 Audi $3500
Mercedes $2000
Just Google Audi headlight replacement cost, Mercedes replacement cost, etc.

Glad to have informed you.

From Kelly Blue Book: "For example, the headlight module for a 2022 Subaru Forester costs from about $600 to $900, depending on model; 2021 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited, $675; 2020 Toyota Corolla, $900; 2019 Cadillac XT5, $1,350; 2018 Volvo XC90, $2,800. The headlight module for a 2019 Tesla Model 3 is about $1,000. That’s just the cost to replace a burned-out LED headlight and doesn’t include installation."

How old are peoples cars that require a new headlight? I have owned so many cars and have never replaced on headlight.

 

[DerbyDave]

Some of the pre 2020 S models have a yellowing discoloration in the eyebrow light, so quite a few of those have been replaced. Others get damaged, and, a few, burn out.

Nice cut and paste DerbyDave. How many have you replaced was the question?

I replaced a light on my 2017 Audi A7, but in Kentucky glass and lights are considered safety equipment by law and insurance covers it with zero deductible. Does that count? Probably not. Anyway, what's your point? Luxury car lights generally cost around $2000 apiece. I also replaced a fog light on my BMW M5 years ago, still no charge. I am a bit concerned with the cost of replacing the Tesla windshield, but haven't needed that yet, and it is covered by insurance anyway. I do like to have a general sense of repair costs, so I am not surprised. $$$

 

[tldickerson]

I've had my windshield replaced before but it wasn't free. I have a $500 deductible on my compensation coverage which is the lowest deductible offered by my insurance company and most others in California. I need another one now and just got a quote for $1,995.47 from my local service center. Lucky for me it's only going to cost me $500. Safelight Auto Glass quoted me $2,476.86, now that's a crazy price.

 

[DerbyDave]

I'd probably also go with the Tesla windshield if no difference in price to you. There have been several posts that the Safelight does not keep as much heat out of the car, which would be especially important in an electric car. That is a bunch of money for a windshield.

Replaced a headlight on my wife’s QX80 when she kissed a pole getting a slushy at Sonic - $2500. Priced a Cayenne headlight - $3k. Too bad my insurance doesn’t cover those under glass coverage but I do have a zero deductible for the windshield/window glass.

Except when buying a Tesla
