Message	Hi, my Z needs a small exhaust repair, so i went to the local shop and they stated that since the car was too low they could not get it on the standard drive up lifts. Instead they have one of those arms lifts with 4 points. I was fine until they told me they lift the car from the pinch welds? I wasn't comfortable with that so i left. The forums say to only lift from there in an emergency. Am i being overly cautious? Any recommendations on what lifts are safe to use on these cars? Thanks!!
