Seem in their rush to complete my car , they nicely decided that instead of jacking up the car a corner at a time to remove the tressels they used a single jacking point.

I think like a lot businesses, its all about getting the jobs in and out quick, to get a faster, more cash effective turnaround. Someone in the office crunching numbers gets more emphasise than the craft of the job itself for the customer.
A shame but the way things are a lot of the time.. all at the detriment at the quality of the trade..
