Hi, can anyone tell me if you have to use jacking plates to jack the car up.
I have just purchased some new wheels and have asked a local mobile tyre fitter to change the tyres off my old wheels onto the new rims. like most tyre fitters they use a trolley jack, but read somewhere that used incorrectly it can damage the underside of the car and that jacking plates for that car make it safe.
The other option i suppose is to use the jack supplied with the car.
regards.
