And a quote that is suppose to be from the owner...


Quote:
1 hour later I get a call about the "accident" and that I needed to come down...

WTF!

So this is what I found...

It get's better. They said they read the manual, but not to the point where it spoke about the 4-point lift. After the crash, they continued reading. Yipee for me.

The damage is inclusive of the rear clam, front clam, underneath the driver's door, and a nice puncture through the bottom diffuser around the passenger seat area.

When I was there, they had a wrecker attached with a winch to the front end so it wouldn't come crashing down. After it cleared the lift, the front end swung around and crashed into some tool chests.

I'm mostly worried about the rear structure... the puncture underneath and the loss of value of the car (it's paid off free and clear)!

I've already called Dimmit in Clearwater and they are expecting the vehicle. Goodyear has filed the claim with their carrier and has promised to fully cover the repair. Luckly my FIL was there as a witness.

What else do I need to be concerned about in the repair/insurance claim? Diminished value, loss of use (not my primary vehicle), etc.

It is an in ground 2 post lift with 4 arms. Whoever set the rack either didn't know or forgot that the engine and majority of weight is in the rear. They took off the front tire and bam there goes the car. It happened in my shop about 8-9 years ago. It was on a truck with a topper on it. In the back was a generator loaded at the tailgate. As soon as a front wheel was removed it fell off. Luckily it was only about 4' off the ground not all of the way up.
