The UP moderate springs I ordered for my P3D just arrived today. I'll be installing these by the weekend and I'm curious what people suggest a.f.a. where to get the alignment done afterwards.

If you've gone either route, did you have a SC or local shop do your alignment? I searched quite a bit and seems there are generally 2 camps: one who suggests the SC is the only way to go and the other who say any shop familiar with Tesla should be fine.

Also, if youre in the Seattle area and in the latter camp, which shop did you use and how did it turn out? Feel free to give shop recommendations.
 
I'm getting an alignment tomorrow as a matter of fact and am purposely not going to a service center since i want something better than that. The factory specs are pretty broad and i'm not convinced the SC would really take the time to get it perfect since they're so busy.

Here's a shot I found showing the factory "acceptable" ranges:
