Default Jacking Questions

I have some wheels and a Borla catback that should be coming in sometime soon. I know there have been some horror stories with dealers lifting our cars, so what do I need to watch out for with their equipment. My father works at this dealer so I know they wont be joyriding or anything like that when they install the wheels. I do not have a set of jacking pucks for the car.

If they don't have jacking pucks (they should if they are a good dealer) they should use a block of wood or somthing insted on the lift pads.

Make some jacking pucks yourself, so you'll always have them you. Get four 99 cent hockey pucks and some 1/4 " eye screws or eye bolts.
