do the easy bit n fit it yourself (it's only 5 nuts per corner) then get geometry alignment done by a pro with the right kit to do it

It's not hard.

Crack wheel nuts
Jack car up
Remove Wheel
Undo the two 19mm bolts holding the bottom of the strut to the wheel assembly
Undo the three 12mm bolts at the top of the strut
remove the brake lines from the little bracket on the strut (I just cut the side of the bracket and bend it back (Saves having to split the brake line)
Remove strut
Do everything in reverse to put to put the new ones back on.

The rear ones need the rear seat to be removed, 5x14mm bolts and the seat is out. I found it easier to remove the seat belt bolt to make way for my fat hands

To be honest any garage can do this for you, just get a proper 4 wheel alignment done after
