This is what I get for being lazy.

So Im due for an oil change and decide to take care of it this morning. I really dont feel like working on the car so I take it to a local shop..and my car wont go over the raised part of the bay because its too low.

Same this happened in my 240sx.
But, they decided to crack my Vertex front bumper trying.
At least they paid for the bumper and did my oil change for free.

yeah i was just thinking of that the other day.... lol it sucks... my car has a hard time making it onto a lift too so its almost like i have to do it myself and its the middle of winter and i dont have a garage....

[texasvtak]

Same here. Apt living sucks sometimes. Oh well, guess Ill have to take advantage of the 70 degree weather and parking lot it in relative comfort.

[gloryaccordy]

I want my car to be just high enough that I can get a jack under it...

[Leung]

don't some places just place wood blocks/slats or whatever you call them so that it jumps up onto the lift?

Hah, thats what I do when I'm trying to jack up my car, I put two bricks under the front tires.

when i was working at jiffy lube, we had this civic that always came in that was low as hell.. i always went under the car and had to push up on the exhaust pieces so it wouldnt scrape..

my accord BARELY scraped when i went into the bay..

the oil change place I go to(YES I PAY TO GET MINE DONE) has angle gaurds around the opening of their pit,I cant drive straight in because I'm to low, so I have to go to the other side of the bay(exit end) and back in,can get the car in just enough for drain plug to hit their drain can

[NAiL05]

your car is low lol =P.

[wed3k]

if i was in texas, id do it for 10 bucks.

[Dv8]

The Soarer wouldnt make it in or out of the garage without moving the other car out so I could do in at hella angle. That got old after two days haha. Low cars are sweet.

eh when i take it to the tire shop we have to lift the car by hand, stick a jack under it, then lift. same process when for getting it off. such a pain
