My XR8 ute was due for a WOF so figured they might as well change the oil whilst on the hoist,all good and the bloke proceeds to drive it into the workshop and onto the hoist then there's a horrible sound cant explain the sound but was not pleasant :raised eye he had left one of the arms out and driven into the thing,when i arrived at the front of the ute the bumper had pinged off on the right hand side,didnt look to good at that stage and i imagined it would have bust clips etc,paint was okish with just a gouge along the side,after much apologies from the bloke and a promise to fix it he moved the ute forward then as the thing is so low drove it up onto the squares so he could put the hoist arms underneath,he started to lift the hoist then Crack the silly pr$ck tried to lift it up with the arms under the side skirts.:evil idea said side skirt flew to pieces.After all that the thing got its service (closely watched his every move ) and outta there,Panel Beater has ordered the parts and its to be fixed at there expense,if there's a plus side its that there was plenty of stone chips on the bumper so a respray of the whole thing will sort them.Havent got a pic of the side skirts as we took it off and i left it with them,bumper went back on fine and once painted will be as good as new.
