Oil Change For Dumped Cars?

So Beshoff Infiniti couldn't get my car on the rack so we rescheduled to get it done @ Beshoff Mercedes-Benz and even they couldn't do it. Anybody know a reputable place within a reasonable distance from Fremont?

Doing it myself is out of the question due to my HOA.

I figure with so many dumped Gs I could get an answer here.

We tried. Too low to get the lift arms under. The front splitter is so low we couldn't even get it on a special alignment rack we have at our Mercedes store that is specific for the M-B SLR. We have serviced a lot of very low cars, but this is the first one that got us beat. We are ordering some ultra low floor jacks so can handle this low a car in the future.

Take it to a drive through oil change. Take your own oil and filter. Thats what i do.

you can borrow mine if u promise to bring them back

Good because I sure would like to continue getting my car serviced @ Beshoff. This is the only place I trust to leave the keys and wonder off

Any Idea when those jacks will be in? If not long I can hold off a week or 2.

sorry youre having this issue jesse... i have a button in my car that says "all up" maybe look through your manual and see if your car has one.. it raises my car about 6 inches in the front and 10 in the rear... perfect for all types of lifts, jackstands, and jacks...
