Default Lowered Friendly Oil Change In Dallas

I recently took my z to Kwik Kar (rip off) and since my car is on springs the undercarriage scraped their loading bay. I'm going to put stance coilovers on my ride soon and slam it to the ground. Anyone know a place where there is mad clearance for lowered vehicles?

** on a side note,

NTB in grapevine off hwy 121 and grapevine mills parkway has an inground alignment rack.

also, the new NTB off hwy 360 and camp wisdom will have an in ground as well.

Hey bro with lowered cars you'll have to get rid of few accommodations including car washes. In the end its better to just do it yourself:

You can make some lumber ramps and take them with you.

Back in my mini-truckin days (before air ride existed) I would go to a Kwik Kar type place and they had 2x8's of wood that they would put down so my truck wouldn't scrape in their bay. They would also only pull the truck halfway in because that's all that would clear. You can always bring your own wood to the shop and drive up on it.

I think the problem is the metal lip for the pit that prevents the driver from driving into the pit. That's what that one guy was scraping his car on. Your front lip might still hit that. I would take some 2x4's or 2x8's with just in case.
