This is what I decided on.

EZ Car Lift, been a great help, added the wheel kit, now this is portable.

No modifications to the garage , uses heavy duty electric drill. Even has a drive over kit for lowered cars.

When down, the lift will have about a 3/8" reveal around it and the lifting "pads" will be absolutely flush with the floor. I do not think we will have any pit-hazard issues. But, I am old so you never know....

I like it, where did you get it from?

Watching this

New garage will need a lift of some sort.

He has discounts through group sales like groupon.

This is similar to the Ranger Quickjack, but can lift higher for a little more money.

By using the rubber pads and shorter cross members I was able to support the pan with great access to make repairs.

Light weight and flexible configurations.

Have been using one for 5 years now, wish he made a bigger one so it could lift my ML320 but it exceeded the weight limit by a nice margin.

when stacking cars, always remember that 914's sometimes leak oil.

Public Service Announcement to ALL!!!!!!!!!

Cutting into your garage slab is a great idea in most situations to make room from your lifts (i.e. older home). However, in certain parts of the country many newer homes, within 10-15 years, are built on Post Tension Slab foundation to eliminate movement and cracking. You will find these types of slabs mainly where seismic considerations must be taken into consideration. If you saw into a Post Tension Slab and cut a cable it could very dangerous (like death) if the cable comes out of the slab during the process. Know what you are doing if you have a newer home and check with someone who if familiar with home construction in your area.
Other than that.....I too have thought about the idea and it makes perfect sense to me!
