Right before they closed the door, I did get to see them jack it up. One of the guys looked under the car for the lift points, and I saw the car getting lifted as the garage door was closing.
I just went under my car for the second time to see where they put the jacks, and by the dirt moved under the car, I suspect they lifted the backs from the De Dion tube. I am not really sure where they put the front lifters, but so far, no damage underneath. They might have lifted somewhere from the underbelly plastic, but I can't confirm that. The only reason I would say that is there is a dent in the underside, but that could have been from my first accident since I don't ever look under there that much. No under body plastic was broken and the dent is only on the left side. If they did lift it from the under body plastic, the dent would have appeared on both sides, so I'm going to take a guess and say they used the front lifting points and the De Dion tube.
I did not inform them of where to lift the car, but I was going to, but just went over to Heavnly Doughnuts and grabbed a hot chocolate.
I'm surprised people actually think they can effectively lift from the oil pan. I knew where to lift cars on their lift points a decade ago, and people are getting paid to do work on a car and use the oil pan to lift? Wow...how did they get certified?
I do wonder how long these tires are supposed to last in terms of miles. I don't want to continue to drive without snow or ice because of the soft tire compound, it will wear the treads much quicker since snow tires are designed for snow, not just driving around. I'm hoping for a 4 winter season stretch with these altering the all weather tires to the snow tires from between December and late March.
