Alright, so I had a flat repaired at Les Schwab on Imbrie Drive in Hillsboro, Oregon and the first thing I saw them do was lift my car up on a lift right on the bodywork (one of those square ones that comes out of the floor). I came out and yelled at the tech to get some damn pieces of wood or something and he was like "yeah i know what's why i'm putting it back down". So I go inside, and next thing I know he has it lifted with a floor jack so I came back out again. I saw another tech walk by so I asked him if he could look under the car & make sure it's on the frame or the pinch welds since it didn't look right. The kid took a glance under there & said it was on the frame, so I'm like alright whatever hopefully they know how to jack up the car like that.

Well, when they were done the first thing I noticed was that it was missing the wheel weight. They assured me there was never a weight on there, and that sometimes they balance like that. I was like well whatever, I'll go drive it around and bring it back when I feel it's out of balance. So, I drove it around, it was out of balance, so I brought it back. They assured me there was never a wheel weight on there, so I looked closer and there was a scratch about 1/8 of the way around the wheel where the dismounting machine obviously caught the weight & dragged it around till it popped off.

Anyway, I was so pissed about that (they said they would pay to have my wheel fixed) that I forgot all about checking the floorpan till just now. When I did, I noticed the floorboard is pushed up where they jacked it up under the floorboard! And inside you can feel where it's pushed up.

Does anyone know if/how this can be repaired, and does anyone know how easy it would be to get them to pay for it?

This is the second time in as many times I've had my car serviced at Les Schwab that they have done damage to my car. The first time was a scratched rim, and this time another scratched rim and a pushed up floorboard. I never even go there except in emergencies to get my flats repaired since their prices are ridiculously high, and it seems whenever I do need their service they only put monkeys on the job.

Ame thing has happen to me and I freak out too, but don't worry, it's only cosmetic.
Open your door and stand on the door frame and with on heel bang the floor board back into place, careful! it's doesn't take too much.

Hope this helps.

You can take a 6 or 7 in. 2by4 put it on top off the dent and hit down.Try to
hit it down with a couple smacks so as not to damage the rug.If it is really
bad remove the seat and pull up the rug. Hit the wood with at least a 5 pound
hammer.

I have fixed more trunk floors and floor boards with my trusty 5lbs sledge and
a block of wood than I care to remember. Make sure there is nothing under the
car that can damaged and watch your back swing.

I have had nothing but problems at that Les Schwab. When I had my eclipse they scratched the **** out of my rims. I won't go there ever again.

Definately pound it out with a hammer. Dead blow will be the best. if you can get someone to back you up from the bottom, even better. hit the high spots first and dont make a bend in the other direction. The metal has stretched and you dant want to put more stress by over pounding on it. I do aircraft sheetmetal for a living. Its an easy fix, just go easy at first, best to have a friend back it up on the bottom to give a more solid hit.

First go pound the 'mechanic' with a hammer, then b!tch to the manager or higher.

I had a little mishap with a jack and popped up the floor in the drivers footwell about 3 inches. I had a body shop pound it out and tack weld the floor back to the frame rail. Cost around $120
