| Car too low to go into aircare.
My car is due for an aircare, I wonder if anyone is aware one aircare center that does not have those wide big speed bumps. I don't have a lot of clearance from my lip, perhaps 4 inches at most.

Speedbumps? Do you mean the dyno? What year is your car because newer cars don't need to go for a drive on it. Posted via RS Mobile | |

thought 4 inches was lots of room... and if it's just the lip being low, just take it off if you're worried

so you only need to do Idle test

Pft, 4 inches is plenty of clearance! Try it with only 2 inches. 
Now are you talking about the actual speed bumps going through the parking lot, or the dyno itself?

I went to one in Richmond and the guys were nice enough to let me back out after the test to avoid the massive speedbump at the exit.

Every year I can only go for the idle test because I can't get onto the dyno either

That is correct...if your car is too low or has aftermarket wheels with low profile tires, they will do the idle test.

i dont know about speed bumps, but it will definitely be an issue for going up hills and stuff.
to give you an exaggerated example, Enzo would definitely have a disadvantage than Smart car assuming both cars have 4 inches of ground clearance.   | |
