When an electric car is past its factory warranty, the dealer is often not the answer. Great Lakes EV in Dayton repairs electric vehicles that are no longer covered by the manufacturer, and Roadside Towing & Recovery Inc is their exclusive towing provider for the Columbus market. We bring your EV to their shop with all four wheels off the ground.
Call (740) 812-9489Great Lakes EV is an independent electric-vehicle repair shop at 828 Hall Avenue in Dayton, Ohio, serving Midwest EV owners. Their own line sums it up: "If EVs didn't exist, neither would we — this is all we do."
The company was founded by a former Tesla leader and a career electronics expert. Suzi Milo spent eight years at Tesla across sales, delivery and service and opened multiple Tesla centers in the Midwest. Pete Milo spent fifteen years designing control systems, software and electronics and holds ASE certification in EV safety. Technician Drew Horn brings more than a decade of Tesla experience, including work as a Tesla mobile technician in Ohio.
Great Lakes EV focuses on battery-electric powertrain repair and remanufacturing, with deep experience on the Tesla Model S and Model X and work on other EV makes as well. Services listed on their site include:
Request service with Great Lakes EV or call our dispatch first, whichever is easier. We pick the car up anywhere in the Columbus metro and carry it to Dayton the way every EV should travel: all four wheels off the ground, on a flatbed or a wheel-lift with dollies. A dead EV with its parking lock engaged moves on dollies or skates, so nothing drags.
Great Lakes EV diagnoses the car and quotes the repair directly with you. When it is ready, ask our dispatch to schedule the trip home. The tow is billed from our published EV rate card and quoted before the truck rolls; Great Lakes EV's own prices and turnaround times are on their services page.
Great Lakes EV and Roadside Towing & Recovery Inc are independent companies. Great Lakes EV performs and warrants the repairs; we provide the towing. On their site, Great Lakes EV advises getting a failed Tesla drive unit to them quickly — within a week of the failure — for the best chance of a rebuild, so call as soon as the car stops.
