maintenance for our lowered vehicles

since i have lowered my car and put a body kit on.......all the honda service centers have turned me down when i wanted to get some maintenance done on my car. they're afraid that my body kit would break. i know it's possible, but they just don't want to do it. i was just wondering if anyone can recommend a place where i can get my car serviced in san diego or los angeles. my car is due for a 20,000 mile service. i know most of the service centers are afraid to put lowered cars with body kits on service racks.....
i think service centers with pits would do it. so let me know if any of you guys or gals can help me with this one and recommend a service center where they would not hesitate on working on our lowered cars with a body kit.
the price you pay to have a nice car......geez
thanks

My Honda dealer takes my car. They love seeing it with different mods everytime I'm there. If its like mine, the service bay has 1 or 2 ramps that allow to lift from the side instead of driving onto it. They usually grab my sides by positioning their jack system under my car and use rubber block to keep it away from my kit. They agreed to pay for any damage since day 1 (ie: Custom made ground kit from Austrailia

If they have a drive on lift, just do like my hillbilly tire store does. They lay down a couple of 2 X 4's in front of the lift, drive up on the boards and then the car is high enough to clear the ramp.
