No way! I'll buy them some wood to use for my car if I have to. I'm almost done with warranty, so I'll need to find a more performance minded shop to get other work done at. Like AMS or the GTR certified dealer in Whitby... Maybe I'll call the GTR dealership anyways.

Now you know why I do my own shit.

Do they not have a gtr hoist? Those are better suited for low cars.

Nope, it's a rebuilt dealership with old equipment in the back. Even the tech said the last dealership he worked for had an alignment rack that was flush with the floor.

He tried the jack stand they have. It's too big to fit under the car.

I'm only lowered on swifts... Not like I'm tuckin' wheels into the fender for poop sakes! Fućk!

and what shop doesn't have 2x10's laying around for such occasions? really?

On a positive note, they didn't damage my car

Actually, this is not that uncommon... Most smaller dealerships/wheel/tire/alignment/shops won't be 'expecting' lowered cars. I've been to several alignment shops and wheel/tire places that weren't capable of helping me. That's why I'm glad for Discount Tire, they have an open bay and just use two lowered car jacks because of them selling the cheap-0-wheels that honda/vw drivers love.

What a coincidence! So is XwChriswX. He doesn't have a storm, though. He has a date.

Is his date Big Bob? Are they going for cockmeat sandwiches?
