we have the takata ramps and they help alot when we use our lift. Depending on what kind of lift your dealership uses, they might need to use an additional jack to lift the rear a little in order for the arms to get underneath the car. Hope that helps

Just invest in a 2x8 piece of wood. That will do it.

I don't know about our G's, but when I had my 911 Porsche, I asked that they back it on the lift since the front valence was too low.

Might work, might not.

+1 The shop I use has a special cut board they slide over to raise the car a little before it hits the lift ramps.
