I am still trying to find the best value in a car lift. My garage is crowed with three cars and a wood working shop. I want to put a car in the air so that I can get it out of the way and work on them easier. There are a lot of hobby lifts out there but some are not worth the effort. "Back Yard Buddy" seems to be the best but it is also expensive. Any Suggestions are highly being appreciated. Thanks

 

Wish I had your problem... Got 3 cars but no garage I have a friend that has a lift, but, I am not sure the brand. I will try and get the make, and model next time I talk to him. But yes I can suggest you to look out for some options available on net. I was told that Garage Parking Lift are performance is quite good.

 

Here are a few good brands of garage lifts:

http://www.superlifts.com/
http://www.backyard-buddy.com/
http://www.geminilift.com/2post.htm
http://www.liftsunlimited.com/

I would prefer to have the two post design since stacked parking isn't a good idea in CA and it gives more clearance for rolling gear around it, but the four-post ramp style could work just as well. As to which brand is best, personal opinions aside I think they're all just about the same- and it beats working on your back.
