Unhappy lifts used for engine swaps

ok, so i have what seems to be the crap 06 v1 oil burning engine My question is i am stressing over what the dealership is going to do to my car once it is there. In short, i just had a veilside kit put on it and a few thousand miles later i notice it is starting to eat oil. I already put another qt. in it and already down to 1/2 on the dipstick after 1500 miles. Will having the kit on there be a problem? Do most dealerships use the drive up ramps or another kind of lift. I think regardless i am taking off the front bumper cause i know they will f$$k it up. I guess this is more so for the side skirts, cause if they use the flat lifts it wont be a problem. Just looking for oppinions cause i hate leaving the car with anyone. Thanks.

Everywhere I've seen uses a regular 2-post (same when I worked at the dealer as well).

For example, a motor I pulled maybe a week ago:




A lowered car with a kit is a hassle putting on a regular lift, but nothing a few boards and some floor jacks can't fix.
