DIY, it's easy, and like someone else said, I never take my car to a shop for ANYTHING.

Dealerships are no better than anywhere else. They just carry a lot more liability insurance than your average corner shop.
About Jiffy Lube/Other Quick Oil & Lube places: We won't take lowered cars that often either at most stores. We have tire-guards to keep the cars from driving into the bay, and they tend to stick up higher than your average 4-point lift's arms. If a 4-point can't get you, most Quick Oil places can't help you. Even more only have bays with lifts on them that your car would get stuck on either way. Short of it is: Change it yourself, and that's coming from the guy who's an assistant manager of a Jiffy Lube. I hear crap all the time about how terrible this place is, or that place, or how bad Jiffy Lube is, and alot of it is customers not having a ****ing clue what's actually going on, or customers abusing their cars to the point that we can't help them, then blaming us when their **** breaks.
The biggest thing I will explain to you, that many people do not seem to grasp is...yes, anywhere you go might **** up your car. You could **** up your car too, very easily. The difference is, if WE **** up your car, we pay to replace whatever got destroyed. If you do it, you get to kick yourself while you pay someone else to fix it.

If you were in a rush Slovic, why did you take your car to Slo-mart? I can't stand going there for anything, they took two and a half hours to do my Fiance's mom's car. I was the only car they worked on the whole time. :|
hahaha you have no idea. if you work as an assistant manager at a jiffy lube and you want to call a dealership anything other than "better" you might wanna think again. i can't speak for all dealerships, but i know that at mine we are all required to go through extensive training, obtain ASE's and not fvck up or you can get fired. i have lowered cars come in all the time, and my bay has a four arm lift. simple solution, jack the front of the car up enough to get the arms under and you are golden.
Who knows?
it's as easy as that, but most small shops don't wanna take the time because they are lazy
