Yeah, I guess I should have been more clear on my initial post. The lifting damage is where the metal is clearly bent in. I'm pretty sure some stupid tow truck driver or car transporter thought it was okay to secure the vehicle by using the points they did.
Incompetence is the killer of all killers!

The lift is an Atlas 408SL which is supposed to be one of their nicer units. I spent $2800 on the lift itself then another $650 for installation. I love it. By the way, they do sell a regular two post lift called a Max Jack that's designed for people with vertically height challenged garages. This wasn't an option for me because two post lifts require some pretty strong concrete strength to be safe. I have no idea what my concrete strength is and I damn sure wasn't willing to risk my life finding out.
