Lotus Elise falls off car lift at tire store

Quote from the Owner:

Dropped my Elise off to the local Goodyear shop to have new F1G3s installed. My Father-in-law is the service manager and has been for 10 years. He is out on medical leave, but he met me at the shop this morning, because he understands the uniqueness of the car.

I handed them the tire tools and opened the Owner's Manual to the jacking instructions so they would be clear. We went over all the instructions and they assured me I was in good hands.

We (my father-in-law and I both left)

1 hour later I get a call about the "accident" and that I needed to come down...

WTF!
So this is what I found..

all because a mechanic was too lazy to see if the arms of the lift were in the right spots... the drivers side arm on the rear of the lift ... WAS ON THE GAS TANK !!!

The only time I've brought my car in for service was for an alignment and I got it back with a dent in the downpipe from the lift..

Yes, who pays for the damage in the end? Do you have to go through in$urance or does the shop just pony up?

Snipe your nothing short of retarded. Sorry to hear about your pipe, i bet that was expensive as theses other guys. In addition if the shop tries to tell you to go through insurance shoot them in the knee caps.
