Anyone have a vehicle lift for their garage? I'm looking to purchase one, but there are so many available. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

lift

I have a backyard buddy drive on. works great. service if any is perfect. The motor went bad after 4 years. I called and they said that they never have motor problems. Sent me another overnight. They are in Youngstown Ohio. they do ship. I believe they also make a frame contact lift. I know a Friend that just got an off brand lift twin post for 2200. installed. motordoctor

rhino ramps are good to have if u dont wanna spend the money on lifts

i think they are awesome as long as u can afford it and fit it. i saw this alternative lift where they were drive up ramps and your whole car was in the air. then u just either work on the ground laying on your back or u dig a pit to work in

I have had 5 lifts in my garages for over 10 years. I use both the 4 post and two post types but only in the drive on ramp models. The 4 post usually cost a bit more but I feel they are well worth it especially if you plan on using it for large vehicles or heavy vehicles like the SSR. Never a safty issue since there are plenty of safty features built in. I needed 2 people plus myself to get them set up. The ramps weigh a ton. Great to store the vehicles because the wheels do not hang down. On the down side, there is less room to work underneath.

Mine were custom made by a company called Autolifters of America. I don't know if they are still making them. Great investment. If you can spring for the investment, do it! You wont regret it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a 4 post lift built by Stinger. Have had it for 3 years now and love it. I got it thru the National Covette Museum.

Most of my friends have the Backyard Buddy. NO problems at all. I have a professional Rotary lift to service all my crap.

Backyard Buddy has great service, as stated earlier.

Thanks for the Lift!

As usual, thanks to all for your input!

I'm doing the plans for a 3-bay garage, and will install lifts in each bay for 6-vehicle capacity. You can never have enough toys!
