Question Who does this...

Who here takes their car to the dealer when they are dropped?

If you do, is it safe?
Any problems when they took your car in for an oil change?
Did they scrape it?


Sorry for all the questions but im a little freaked out to take my car to the dealer when im dropped.

Help me out guys.

Its free if i do it at the dealer. Also that way they wont b!tch at me if they say u havent been coming to service your car.

Well if its the same as the Infiniti Dealer here. There are 4 arms that are driven over, then they move them to the edges of the car then lift the car up. If your car cant clear thous arms then I guess they might not do it.

I'm riding on H&R sport and I've taken my car to Tustin Infiniti numerous times w/o any issues so far. Like someone mentioned above, they take my car to the back to work on.. so I have no clue what goes on in the garage. However so far, no issues whatsoever regarding clearance when getting my car serviced.

Robby, I think you will be fine.
I am sure many dealerships deal with lowered vehicles all the time.

i'm gonna drop my car on coilovers soon and the dealer uses those arms that go under the jacking points. problem is, last time i went there for an oil change i remember the arm being close to the body. I don't think they can go under after i drop the car :S
