Message itself, but the ramps that were attached to drive onto it were too short and my Z would "catch" its underside on the lift when I tried to drive up on it. You can see how short they were here.

Of course tons of young guys have sportscars and couldnt use the lifts, so as a temporary fix they made extensions out of 2x4's to slide under the ramps, but eventually the shop just spent the cash and had the ramps replaced with longer ones, approx 18-24" longer or so.

It should not be difficult nor expensive to make wooden "sliders" to allow low clearance cars onto their ramps. I'm surprised no one has done it already and that the shop is just going to turn you away.
