The few things I needed repaired on my model 3 was just fixed by my local mechanic, who also did the yearly brake-maintenance. Once I bought original parts from Tesla and had my own mechanic change it, but they’ve also used 3rd party unoriginal parts they sourced themselves without issues.
I don’t know which model your neighbor has, but for model 3 at least there are lights from 3rd party manufacturers available.
