Recommended Tesla Shop in Southern California

[Eryx]

Hi All,
Does anyone have a recommendation for a store that works on Tesla's and is located in Southern California? Near to San Diego would be best, but I can make the trip up to LA/OC if needed. I put a ticket in today because 50% of one headlight is currently out, and Tesla wants $1650 to fix.
This is the first high end / performance car I've ever owned, but almost $1700 for a headlight seems excessive, is this price inline with most other replacements?

Oct 2016 Model S P100D
Thank you,
Bradden

just live with it would be my recommendation. This is a known issue.
EVFIXME in OC is a private repair shop, is less expensive than Tesla, but probably not as cheap as you are hoping
you can get the headlight on ebay - to save money - and find someone to install.
There is also a guy in Agoura Hills that specializes in modifying headlights, including Teslas
teslaworkshop on instagram is a good guy that can help you also (located Antelope Valley)

Thank you very much for the super fast reply and for the recommendations! I will look into both EVFIXME and teslaworkshop.

Ya going to live with this for the time being as at those prices I'm throwing away $800. Thanks also for letting me know this is a known issue, I wasn't expecting this (thought it'd be maybe $4-500) so felt completely blind sided here.

go with the $550 service from SWLights... it can be a simple fix or you can add modifications too. (*link above)

Unless you buy a used one off eBay or something it's not gonna be cheap anywhere. I just had bot headlights replaced and they were $1400/ea. Insurance paid not me that's insane for a part. Labor is gonna be next to nill because it's pretty easy.

For Socal I recommend EV fixme they are good folks and very friendly, the did my eMMC repair back when Tesla was still charging and arm and a leg for it.
