Thanks sourmug,going to keep a copy in my car for any work I have done by people that don't know what a fiero is.Most mechanics in my area are 30 are younger.Need to get brakes and don't want them crushing my coolant lines

You're welcome. Keeping one in the car is probably a good idea. Nolan

Yes it would be. Whenever you HAVE to go somewhere for service, tape it to the dash. Myself I use all the light blue (service station jack) points

They will still try to jack it where they want to even after you tell them. DO NOT go get comfortable in the waiting area until you have witnessed them properly lifting the car.

Hopefully, NOBODY needs a diagram showing the lift points for a wheel lift hoist...

It alway amazed me how many professional shops think the coolant tubes are frame rails.

I think just to be on the safe side I will stand buy the car while there setting the pads in place regardless of the sign that request the customer stay in the lobby

You can always stand right outside the bay door. Nothing they can say about that.
