so i'm too low, shop suggestions?

went to 3 different shops today and all said i was too low to do any work on. i usually go to firestone cuz i get a lifetime of alighnments there but now they cant do crap for me. so i need a new shop for alignments, brakes, tires, wheels, etc...
any suggestions that can work on lowered cars?
east bay preferred.

did you try to suggest using 2x4's to get on the ramp? The firestone over here does that.

its not about charging extra, u just can't get on the machine. it happened to me too.
2 suggestions:
#1: like jason already mentioned, try to put some 2x4 on the floor and have someone lift the fenders to see if u can get one.
if not (like for my car)
#2: take off your front bumper to get on. and put it back when you are done.

#2 is a hassle, but it works.
