Well, if he played your bass, who know what else he did to your car.

Would you want to go back there even if your car did make it onto the lift?

You have to have like 2-3" clearance to pull on to a lift...I doubt it is a problem... And no dealer should be messing with your system...

Even if you are lowered all you need is a board or two to get you onto the ramps. Simple solution really... if a shop doesn't think of something easy like that I stay away from them.

I deff would not return to a dealer like that...a dealer that uses your car as a play ground isnt a dealer i would trust.

I pull my main amp fuse any time I leave my car with a dealer or vallet for just this reason.

And the lip should clear the lift. Most dealers have both ramp lifts and chassis lifts.

My dealership charged me for a tire rotation, and didn't rotate the tires. I know because one of my wheels got curbed and has a 3" gash on it...was still in the same spot.

Fkin dealerships.

Haha then afterwards, they wanted to give me a "free" car wash. So I said ok, he gave me the code to get an economy wash at a gas station down the street, my car came out dirtier than when it went in...the machine didn't have a drier so I had waterspots all over my car.

Stay away from Armstrong Scion in Miami, FL!!

hey wicked.. you need to find another dealer. because there are "chassis lift" lifts. They lift at the frame. The only time you need to drive onto a lift is one for the alignment rack. that can also be fixed with some 2 X4's also.

this dealer you went to are a bunch of morons. And we all recommend you don't go back there. Someone help him find a GOOD dealer in his area!!

^^^Not necessarily...in the shop i work at, we have two lifts just for oil changing and they are both drive-on...The chassis lift are used primarily for tires, brakes, etc....But yes some wood can fix the problem of being lowered....but i agree with the dealer for not wanting to take that chance....

Then again i suggest doing your own oil changing....you'll do a better job since its yours....some people take advantage of other people's car and do a half-a$$ job.....just my .02
