Default Oil Change Help

I need my oil changed before heading down to SpringFest but my problem is finding a place that I can pull my car in without scraping. I tried 5 places here in Tracy and no luck. You all know how low I am..it's no joke.

Have you tried putting bricks in front of your front wheels? I do that for my cheapie plastics ramps, but I am no where near as low as you are.

Well I don't feel like changing my own oil this time that's the problem, and when we try putting ramps and crap at these oil change places, my center of the car where the cutouts hang almost get's ripped off. That's before this drop...sooo =/

Did you try Jiffy Lube? I usually take mine there with my own oil and filter.

They usually have the drive over pits so you car never has to go on a lift.

Nope didn't try it. They don't have one here in Tracy. Closest one I found is in Manteca which inst bad. I think I may swing by there if I don't find anything here local. Thanks man!

When I get mine changed they back my car in and jack up the back so they can get the lift arms under it.
Haha they hate seeing me pull in for an oil change.

My local Jiffy lube has 2 bays...one where you just drive in and one with a rack where they could do a wheel rotation and stuff. But, the drive through side should be able to accomodate your car once your in...they have a bit of a "drive up/in" slant sometimes.
