Local suspension work?

I'm in Kingston.
2014 S60, spring shocks.
Taking minor bumps really rough.
Any chance of a local shop being able to get parts? Or am I stuck taking it to Tesla Kanata?
Thanks!

How much cheaper than Tesla are we talking usually?

Can local shops get parts now? Only Tesla parts? Or nothing at all?

Clunking at minor bumps is most likely worn sway bar links. You can get them at Rockauto.com and get them installed at any local shop. Sway bar links are not rocket science as long as you teach the shop on how to lift a Tesla without damage to the battery.

That would be these? Worth it to get the more expensive ones? Or just save the money and get cheaper?

I also have to do my front sway bar links again. Just ordered the MEVOTECH ones at CAD$ 58.38 each from Rockauto. i will try to install them myself at the same time I am swapping for winter tires.
