They expected me to remove parts like this. They put cars up on fork lifts to remove parts while standing right under them, no safety at all in regards to the workers.
12:18 PM Yea I hear ya. Typical mentality around here. And when an accident happens they will plead innocent.
That is what jack stands are for.
Why would a customer be under a car at a business? Seems to me that would be a major liability
issue for the owner. Hope they have good insurance!
