ABS Wheel sensor

I've had two of these replaced at my local MD, both nearside, in 2016 and 2017. I started the car this evening at the office car park, and the dreaded symbols on the dash popped up with a ding. It seems I need another done.

Can anyone recommend the best place to buy these and can I use a competent local mechanic to fit? Will they need a diagnostic machine to turn the lights out and to actually find the faulty hub/sensor?

The car is 10 yrs old, with 27k on the clock. Thanks in advance.

Are you sure it's really the sensor and not just a battery problem? Mine throws up ABS off, Traction Control Off, Park Off most weekends (even despite being on a trickle charger), yet drive it for a few miles and then restart and it's all fine again.
