Bent rear under brace from jacking the car at wrong jacking point.

Thanks for the inputs. The thing is most shops (even the reputable ones) in this country don't admit when they made mistakes. If they do, they'll probably repair the damaged

Thanks for the inputs. The thing is most shops (even the reputable ones) in this country don't admit when they made mistakes. If they do, they'll probably repair the damaged part instead of replacing with a new one. The 370Z is also rare here, so OEM parts are hard to come by. I think I might just have to live with it, or replaced it with an aftermarket braces when they become available.

Are we talking about Thailand, or the USA? Because they do the very same thing here in the USA.

Well, I had better luck while I was living in L.A. and had my EVO worked on by great shops and mechanics. I can't say the same here in Thailand. Most shops would just rip-off customers with counterfeit or used parts. Mechanics are also poorly trained.
