Here's how my day goes...........
DrumAnBass:
Wow thats crazy Divemaster; hope they repair it right...
Another horror story:
My dad had a Caddy and the local dealer offered free pick ups and returns for service. The kid from the dealer driving the car totalled it on the way to his house... Luckily they had a few spare Caddys laying around ;-)

Do you have pics of the damage? I too am having trouble with how this magic hoist works.

Likely an alignment rack. You drive the car onto a ramp b/c the car has to have weight on the wheels to set the alignment. Then you have hydraulic lifts on the rack that can pick the front or back of the car up (but they probably either hadn't gotten that far or had finished that part).
Like this - http://www.hunter.com/pub/product/racks/4718T/index.htm (although older racks work off a hydraulic pit rather than above ground).
I imagine the shop will make things right by you, but it's not any fun in the mean time.

Only if they have half a brain. Clearly, here, they don't. Bummer. Unless they were going to do the alignment and had already done the tires. Or did she also ask for an oil change or some sort of inspection?
Dude, they rented her a Cobalt? Is that ten speed or twelve? Unless my wife went in on a bike I'd have demanded a better rental. No point in letting her get killed while she waits for them to fix their mistake.

here car is a 05 Nissan altima, & firestone offered her a free 40 point inspection...that is when the mishap took place.
