CARLSBAD, Calif., July 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aptera Motors Corp. (NASDAQ: SEV), a solar mobility company advancing ultra-efficient transportation, today announced a partnership with RepairPal, the largest trusted network of certified auto repair shops in the United States. The partnership will give Aptera owners convenient access to RepairPal's network of more than 4,300 certified service locations nationwide, providing customers with reliable, high-quality service options close to home.
RepairPal's Certified network includes shops that have been evaluated to the highest standards of technician experience and training, tools, parts, customer satisfaction, pricing, and warranty standards. More than 200 RepairPal locations are already certified for high-voltage electric vehicle repairs, with a broader network capable of lower voltage repairs, general maintenance and accessory installation. Trusted by over 100 companies including USAA and CarMax, RepairPal has built a reputation as the standard for quality and fair pricing in automotive service.
As a direct-to-consumer company without a traditional dealership network, Aptera has prioritized building a service infrastructure that gives customers peace of mind from the moment they take delivery. Through this partnership, Aptera owners are expected to be able to schedule both routine maintenance and high-voltage service at RepairPal Certified Shops, which will have access to Aptera-specific service procedures. RepairPal Certified Shop technicians will receive training on Aptera's vehicle to ensure consistent, high-quality service experiences.
"Our customers deserve to know that when they take delivery of their Aptera, great service is available right in their community," said Chris Anthony, Co-CEO of Aptera. "RepairPal has built exactly the kind of trusted, certified network we want backing our owners. This partnership is part of how we make the Aptera ownership experience as good as the vehicle itself."
"Aptera is exactly the kind of forward-thinking OEM partner we built our network to support," said Kathleen Long, VP of Business Operations and Strategy at RepairPal. "Our Certified shops are trained, trusted, and ready to serve EV owners, and we are proud to extend that same quality and peace of mind to Aptera customers. Whether it is routine maintenance or high-voltage service, Aptera owners will have a Certified RepairPal shop nearby when they need it."
The RepairPal partnership is part of Aptera's broader effort to build a complete ownership ecosystem ahead of potential initial deliveries. Aptera owners can locate RepairPal certified shops near them at RepairPal.com
