Default Jacking pucks

Do most good service places have these to use or do I have to supply them? Thanks for all inputs in advance.

I would be very surprised if any place has and used them.

Its best to have your own and make sure they use them. Rockers are very expensive to have replaced as they are not bolted to the car but are attached with adhesive.

There are great....Go to Fred's web page and check them out. I have 8 of these and carry a set in each of my Corvettes.

To remove at least some of the worry, I installed some "lock-in" pucks that snap in and are not removed. I haven't had an opportunity to use them yet.

Most places in my area don't have them. The place I got my oil changed and get tires had never heard of them and he does several Vettes I around town. I had mine and installed them before they worked on my car. Next time I went the shop had purchased 2 sets. the gentlemen that works on my car told the owner of the shop about them so they ordered some.

Just purchase the "snap in place" ones. Snap them in and forgot about them.

although some shops know how to jack the car up but I wouldn't trust it all the time. Can't go wrong with the pucks

Default hockey pucks

I keep a set of hockey pucks in my car just in case

I always offer them to the shop rather than leave it to them to do the right thing.

If I leave them or they get lost, no sweat, a puck costs $1.99
