Message	When I worked at the shop low cars were lifted properly by driving them onto shallow ramps to allow the arms to get under. A jack lifting the rear allows the rear arms to get into the right place too. You can usually life on pinch welds without too much trauma b/c the weight is spread out, but its good to try and avoid that. If that shop won't do such a simple task properly then go else where!
