Local shop
So I just needed get ny inspection done. It starts with the mechanic hitting a bucket while driving into the shop. Then he doesn't even know where the jack points are!!! I'm already steaming over him hitting the bucket. Next thing he does is kick the lift's fork into the skirt and scratches it. Lowers the saddle after and believes he found the jack point. So he began to lift and the saddle doesn't catch but the lift's arm picks up on the skirt and warped the sh*t out of it. I told him to put it down and f*ck off. I drove it of the lift. Then the boss and another mechanic blamed the car for being to low. Can't make this sh*t up and they call themselves "advance auto sports".
Just needed to vent, thanks for reading. |

WTF.....
I would be on the phone with the owner of the shop. The car is too low ? Corvettes are Low, 370Z's are Low. The car is not too low, the mechanics are too stupid...

Nope, the skirt bounce back to shape. The scratches is what I was left with. I think the boss offer the inspection for free but I was so pissed I couldn't stay there another minute.

They definitely need to also pay for the damage they caused to your car. It's completely inexcusable if you are at stock height, and even if your car were slammed to the ground, they should be able to make the call on whether they are capable of getting it onto the lift. Even when I took my car to a tire shop to get a puncture patched, they took care to not scrape while putting it onto their lift and I'm on Swift. Definitely demand compensation for the scratches.

This is why you need to know/go to a shop you can trust. Or worse case scenario, can't you take the car to a dealership for inspection?

I feel you pain. Make them pay or lawyer up.
I'm going to a car show today and being my car is low with the Stillen kit people always seem to kick the front lip trying to get a closer look to the engine bay. I do it everytime I'm around the car but it's different when it's not you. I know hypocrite. Not like you really going to hurt it.
