Local Garage Lift Sellers

Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone knew of some local places that sell garage lifts for residential purposes? I'm getting tired of doing work on my cars on my back and lifts are getting very affordable. You can get a good one online between $2000 - $2500. I would like to try and get one locally so I don't have to deal with the shipping. Thanks for any help in advance.

Thanks. I've looked at them online and they're expensive from what I see. Also, it doesn't go that high so you can't walk underneath your car standing up. What are your experiences?

At the time, I got it when it was on sale; 2000 shipped, including taxes.

I use a rolling chair, never really had to do much work that hurt my back.

Uses regular 110v, no need to modify my garage door.

Lifts unevenly sometimes, easy to install a flow divider control valve though.

I'd say, as long as your not dropping the engine or transmission, it's a good set up

I've got a BendPak HD-9 four post lift for storage, etc. LOVE IT!

There are a LOT to choose from (Atlas/Titan, Rotary, Direct Lift, Backyard Buddy, BendPak, etc) and my advice is to NOT go for the cheapest. I have several friends who have lifts and all have BendPak as well. BendPak has amazing customer service and certified installers. Smooth from start to finish

Shoot me a pm if you want addnl details.
