    Farmers insurance and Tesla repair?

    A bit of extra information, although it's probably too late for anything that happened in January. My wife was involved in a small accident in Berkeley that GEICO deemed to be her fault.

    Only Tesla can do the alignment??

    What's the name of your shop? I ran over some obstacles with my Model 3 and would like to get a proper re-balance and alignment.
