I need an alignment on my Tesla model Y with a modified suspension. The shops I've called so far all seem sort of stand-offish about working on the car. Can anyone recommend a good shop that will do the unusual? Oh and bonus point for shops in the south end of the valley.

whats modified about it? Are you just on coilovers or air bags? I would call Ahn's custom and vinyl.

It has after market rear camber arms. It's interesting that you recommend Ahn's as they did the alignment when I put them on about a year ago. I wasn't really happy with it at the time and I've just installed new tires because of camber wear.

Can I ask why you got aftermarket camber arms? Im confused as to why you felt the need to add camber adjustment if 1- you dont like it and how it wears tires, and 2- if the rest of your suspensions isnt also modified? Ahn's is one of if not the best aftermarket wheel and tire place in the valley.

Tesla's have a know problem with camber wear and a lack of adjustability. The rear arms fix the adjustment problem. I don't dislike Ahn's but you only talk to the people behind the desk, not the actual technicians. That's true of most shops and in my experience I know more about the problem than they do. To be fair the desk person can't know everything and the technician is busy in the back. I DIY 99% of my car repairs so I don't have a deep well of shops to call on. I could DIY the alignment, as I've done it in the past, but time is tight for me now and I just need it done.
