Question:

Mechanic dropped the lift too fast resulting in the car hitting the card with loud noise?

I took my car for tire replacement and my car was dropped twice from the lift. I would say that the car was dropped from a height of 4 feet. I got an incident report from the manager and now I think I should take the car to some other shop for inspection. There are no visible damages but I think dropping from 4 feet is not something that cars are made to withstand.The car was dropped twice, one time I saw it myself, the other time I only heard the noise and noticed the mechanics putting additional jacks under the car. Upon asking, I was told that they just want to be careful that the front of the car doesn‘t drop to the ground while the rest of the car is still on the lift.Now, I am not sure where to take the car for inspection and whether a mechanic can pinpoint the problems resulting from this incident. Any suggestions?

Answer:

You got the wrong kind of tires. The tire salesman should have noticed.
errrrrrr what is the card??/if it didnt fall off the lift your ok/also dont go back there/if it hit the ground you would see damage/your ok
Are there any Problems? Good Alignment Shop to be Inspected; Just tell him the Front End Just doesn't feel right and nothing else.
max tire pressure is 35? most max is at least 45 you must got really cheap tires or something
I would take the car back to the garage who fitted the tyres. They may have fitted different tyres. 41 sounds quite high. You can usually tell if they need pumping up by looking at them, there shouldnt be much of a bulge at the bottom of the tyre.
