I usually go to Castle Honda but recently lowered my civic, was wondering if they can put my car on a lift without any problems?
If not, whats a good place to get an oil change done with a lowered car, I'm thinking one of those places where they have those underground pits. Anyone know of any places in that area?

Formula Honda, Ideal Honda does mine without any problems, Markham Honda wanted to charge me extra to get my lowererd car on there hoist...haha, yea right...I usually do it myself and Honda tech can't? geezzz

Honda2k4

so they should be able to do it at honda? does it matter if your car is really low?

It depends on the hoist that they use. Where I live the honda dealer in Niagara falls cannot service my car but the one in Welland still has one old style hoist left and they can lift it no problem.

i always thought they don't use a hoist for oil change.... because at penzoil they would have a pit in the ground and change the oil with the car bein on top of the pit, so that way it doesn't matter how low the car is??? sorry for being confusing because i'm confused myself aswell

when i was over at Classic Honda there was a slammed 7thGen there so they could probably do it too.

Jiffy Lube has the underground pits where they don't have to raise your car up on a hoist.

All my maintanance is done at Roadsport Honda located at Kennedy and Ellsemere. They have no problems working on my car and they have never damaged anything on it. Soooo... Roadsport Honda is my recommendation

Most Honda will do it.. but Honda costs too much. Just go to Costco like I do.. $21.99 for an oil change of 5W20.
I don't care if you freaks out there say why go to Costco.. because oil is oil.. and my car hasn't broken down. And they use Quaker State.

Save yourself the hassle of Honda... save yourself $10+ tax and disposal fee... and go to Costco or something. Honda.. what a rip-off.

For all you people that wonder.. ya.. I use to go to Honda EVERY oil change.. That's right.. every one.. except for the last 2.

one of those places with the underground pit would probably work

im going to give castle honda a call and see what they say, otherwise ill take it to a place with an underground pit

but ya when i take my tires off now, the only jack that fits under is the oem one

hey tricky, so mr lube you have to drive up to get over there pit?
what oil is best if i go to one of those places?

yeah i wouldnt recomend honda too costy

some places where u drive over the pit still cant do it, the have like guard rail thingys adn if your car is too low it smashes right into them... thats what happened to me at pennzoil......

and for your info i;de ask to see the hoist they are putting it on... i was told my car would fit on the hoist, it was the ramp drive up one kinds and as soon as my car got a little on the ramp i watched my back bumper scrape......

my car is lowered. 1.5 to 2 finger gap. the place i go to... my car wont fit on the hoist directly... but they just jack it up slightly from the back.. and the hoist legs will fit right underneath... no biggie.

i've been using synthetic oil changes for the past two years now... at least.... cost me double then non synthetic
