Don't all oil change outfits have a steel grid on the floor to prevent this from happening??
Those grates are to keep people from falling in, they won't support the weight of a car.
What I thought was priceless in this clip is the driver actually was accelerating as he/she was falling in. The car didn't stop until the bumper hit the far end of the pit!
Ten or twelve years ago, I was the shop manager at a nationwide truckstop chain location. I got a call from the evening manager one night saying a driver had just drove his left front steer tire into the pit. No one guided him in, he just took it upon himself to pull in the shop because he wanted to save a trip into the service counter. It was the graveyard shift and we weren't busy, so we let him make his own arraingements for a tow truck to come out and lift the front end back out of the hole. lol. :lol:
Then we guided him over the pit and charged him for an oil change, hub oiler, labor to install it, etc. Some people's children. :roll:
