The cable broke on our outdoor pressure washing lift, two months after a complete inspection of all of our lifts! One never knows, accidents happen. Car fortunately has minimal damage. Will post pictures of the lifting and repair later

That looks bad & I would certainly be pissed if it was mine. Having said that the fact he is posting the picture of it. $hit does happen to us all. The distinction that this is their lift for pressure washing helps a bit as far as how it looks. Still I would spend some time every year keeping the paint up. I would not feel good about my car going up on that lift with that much rust on it. Even if it was serviced by someone else. It doesn't look like it is serviced just from the eye test. While the internals make the most difference. That pic just screams I am an old piece of crap that nobody has serviced in years. Not something I would want my customers to see. Let alone have their car on
