I had the coil-overs put in Friday. I put new pads and rotors in over the weekend. Scheduled an alignment and brake flush for today.
Just got a call that the car is too low to get on the alignment rack or even on the hoist to do the brake bleed. I asked how much clearance they were short, explained the coil overs, but the service advisor told me the owner said to park the car and not touch it. So I start calling around in my smaller city and am having no luck finding someone who can get a car with a lowered stance. GM dealer says he has a hard time with stock vehicles with running boards, so he can't help. Big tire chain says they can't do the brale bleed, and they want $89.99 for a custom alignment.

It really is that simple. The only thing I'd add is if you don't have Speedbleeders or a Motive pressure bleeding system or the like is it's a 2 person job. One person pumps the brakes and the other person turns the bleed screw. Make sure you loosen the screw only after the person inside the car is pushing on the pedal, and that you tighten the screw before they let up.
