Looking for a close shop in Bucks to check my slammed Lex

Hey guys, we are re-doing the siding on our house and I cant pull my jack out of the garage. I need to find somewhere that wont give me **** about getting my car on a lift. I think my right front wheel is about to fall off... Wheel bearing or upper ball joint which was replaced a few months ago... I'm pretty confused and dont want to drive my car very far. Any suggestions or recommendations are appreciated! Thanks TST, good to be back in the area!

Its its that bad, i wouldn't drive it anywhere. If you take it somewhere, and you really are that low, most places wont be able to get you on the lift unless you have a trunk full of 2x4's.

I feel like I have at least another 20-30 min of driving left, the door card just started making noise from vibrations. Also, I scrape factory aero, so yeah, she's low. I'm just trying to avoid driving somewhere and then the place that I already called, say they wont touch it after knowing its lowered. As for the 2x4s, I already have ramps ready to rock.

Most AAA contractors wont touch it if its slammed. If you can get it to the NE ill check it out. I got plenty of 2x4sthe laying around.

Some will do it. But then there's the ones I have to go bail out because they wont touch a car because its in a parking space.

Thanks, but the issue is I cant really get to it with a dumpster in front of my garage and a 3ton 100+lb floor jack buried in it. Its not like I can reach over stuff and pick it right up with a bad back. And I have plenty of jackstands already. So I'd be looking into buying a low-pro all aluminum jack, if anything
