worried about taking my car for any type of servicing, help

i have a g35 coupe with body kit and dropped on tein s-techs on stock 18's, its pretty low... i have put off getting oil changes, alignment and getting my tires changed because of this, simply because the fact that im scared that the dealer or whoever is servicing my car will end up messing up something.

is there anywhere you can go these days to get an alignment, tire balance, and change tires out w/o having to worry about clearance on dropped cars?

as i can remember awhile back, discount tire, i remember them having to drive the car up a steep ramp, which i definetly do not want...

so would like to hear how some of you get these done on a dropped car with body kit...

I'm even scared to take it to the dealer for oil/maintenance... i'm very careful with my car, and have been babying it ever since i got her, and would like to continue to do so.

Call around and ask the question to your local people. The forum isn't going to be able to help you and not servicing your car is not a good idea either. Or learn to do everything yourself and good luck with that alignment.

most members of the G-Squad come to my dealership and I'll babysit your car so nothing happens. All the techs are very careful and they think any modified car is a friend of mine lol

i don't think i have the money, time, space, nor tools to do those 15k, 50k, 75k maintenance on my own at home... so of course i will have to take it to the dealer to get serviced.

I was just curious to those who drive a coupe with body kits and lowered, are your cars able to drive over those lifting hoists at the dealers? That's what im concerned about right now. Just want to be prepared for the next time i have to take my car to dealership for extensive maintenance/servicing work. With the drop I have now and kit on, I am hoping that those techs won't have a problem getting it on the lifts.

For those of you who have body kits + lowered, let me know your experiences. I am dropped on tein s-techs with ings+1 kit... so its sitting pretty low...
