As the first of its kind in Lincoln and one of Nebraska’s few Rivian-certified body shops, Eustis Body Shop is now equipped to provide its repair expertise to local Rivian owners.

With this certification, Eustis Body Shop’s Amber Hill location in Lincoln is capable of repairing all aspects of a Rivian vehicle, including the structural and battery components. Additionally, being part of the Rivian Certified Collision Network enables Eustis Body Shop to carry out warranty work dispatched by Rivian Service Centers across the region.

“We’re excited to be able to serve Rivian owners in Lincoln and the surrounding communities,” sais Ryan Clark, vice president of Eustis Body Shop. “With more and more EVs on the road, we’re happy that Eustis Body Shop can provide service for Rivian owners.”

To become a Rivian Approved Collision Center, Eustis Body Shop technicians had to undergo specialized training to develop expertise in handling unique equipment, OEM parts and repair techniques for Rivian electric vehicles. This comprehensive certification process involves devoting numerous hours to training, ensuring that technicians meet Rivian’s stringent standards.

Beginning with a single shop in 1979, Eustis Body Shop has been serving Central and Eastern Nebraska for over 40 years, providing top-quality collision, dent and glass repair.

Staying safe while working on an electric vehicle (EV) requires the correct shop equipment as well as the correct personal protective equipment (PPE), and shortcuts are simply not an option. Let’s take a look at everything you're going to need.

We’ll start with PPE and electrical safety gloves. Class zero electrical insulating gloves rated for 1000 volts are required for EV service. Simply put, these gloves prevent high voltage (HV) from traveling through your hands, and they must be tested every time you use them by checking for a pinhole or any damage that could allow voltage to pass through a glove. An insulator is the most efficient way to do this. Insulating gloves must also be clean and dry so there are no conductive substances that can allow HV to travel outside the glove to your arm. Treat these safety gloves with extreme care. They can be damaged easily and they’re sensitive to UV rays, so they should be stored in a dark, dry environment. A ventilated UV-resistant bag is the best option. Safety gloves must also be re-certified every six months. You’ll also wear them with a leather outer glove to protect them; most prefer to wear an inner cotton glove as a liner to allow your hands to breathe.
