Question for people who oil change at dealerships,

My car is lowered significantly and I am looking into going to the dealer for my oil change.I have carbon fiber parts all on the lower ends of my car and I want to know if anyone has experience with how they treat your car when putting it on a lift? Im afraid they will be careless and damage my car since i do not have a relationship with them nor have i bought anything from them.

Dealerships are independently owned businesses, each with their own hiring practices. The technician has no idea of, nor interest in, your overall relationship. If you are asking about negligence or spiteful malice, there is no way to predict the actions of one individual technician based on those of any others.

I don't know your dealership but I had no issues with mine. And that's after bringing 2 BMWs to them to get free inspections, then subsequently denying their service quotes and doing the repairs myself. My car is pretty low on forged wheels and I just asked them not to take the wheels off. Basically all they did was an oil change so kind of hard to mess that up. But no damage to my bumpers or undercarriage that I could see.

If you've put that much into modding your car, changing your oil should be no problem.

Well, there's one advantage to my car being xdrive with higher ride height

= No problem with my lower body CF bits

At any rate, I change my own oil using Rhino Ramps, but never had a problem with the MB dealer that switches out my wheels/tires...
