I replaced the rear tires, and figured I'd replace the fronts soon since they were getting thin. Sure enough, I notice they are wearing bad on the inside. Ordered new tires, and headed off to my friendly local alignment shop. Surprise #1- they have filled in the pit that they've used for years and have replaced it with a new lift. And, since my car is low, there's no way for them to get it on the rack.

Hey Bobby, next time this happens try stacking 2 x 6's (or 12's) on the floor. Even the lowest car should be able to drive up on a 1 1/2" board. It only take 2 or 3 boards to get the car high enough to get the lift under it.
