Default Need a shop that will lift a lowered IS300(Howard County, MD)

Anybody know of any places in Howard county that will lift a lowered IS300. So far I've tried merchants and NTB. All i'm trying to do is get two tires put on the rear. Any ideas? I was probably just going to put the IS on jackstands and take the wheels and tires to the shop.Then put them back on myself. Just don't have to much time for that.

I don't know many places in Howard County. Tara's car is pretty low. You may have to just throw it up on stands. Maybe you could do this sunday before or after we meet up.

Just get some 2x4 and go somewhere that has a lift. That should give it the extra height for them to get up in there.

Jack Stand option sounds like the best bet. That's what I usually do.

He'll probably pull them off tonight in the garage. I need rear tires soo bad! My car will probably sit higher with the new tires because they will actually have tread...hehehe...

Yeah looks like it's going to be jackstands. I do this with the galant all the time now ever since Mr. Tire broke 3 of my wheel locks.

I usually use a couple of peiced of wood about 7-8 inches wide and 1 inch tall roll onto them and slide the jack under gives me just enough clearance for the jack.
