Bad day at work

[Mike@HBH]

Actually happened yesterday. The "new guy" was rushing and didn't set the lift correctly. While he was takin the wheels off the car fell. No one was hurt and he was really lucky it wasn't a customers car. ( it was a used car state inspection )

Out of curiosity what would the repercussions be had it been a customers car? I know I would flip ape shit if that was my cobra

shop insurance would usually cover the car.

shop insurance or the shop gets sued lol.

Either way the tech doesn't get a last paycheck.

+1, did he not set the left rear lift arm up?

Yeah but the tech would pay the shops deductible back to the shop and the deductible is Expensive.

He set all the arms on the lift but had the car pulled to far forward and it was unbalanced.

ours is only $1000 ded. at the dealer. does not matter if you smash a dealer car into another dealer car or it falls off the lift. its $1000 period. but yes normally paid by the idiot that did it.

did the pins for the lift arms not drop down into lock position when the vehicle was lifted? just wondering how the driver side lift arm is no where under the vehicle. i use this same lift at work, only reason i ask.

 

[05satinGT]

hate when that happens

 

[Darko]

Wow..that sucks. Happy to hear no one was injured though.

Locking mechanism for the arms was broken as are many others in our shop. But my opinion, if the car was set on the lift correctly it wouldn't have fallen. The car fell forward and because the locks were inop it kicked both left legs backward.

So this wouldn't had happened if the shop would fix broken stuff?
