I doubt any of us hasn't come across a scammer or two over the years 🙃

Do you want ramps, or a lift ? I bought a "QuickJack" a few years back. Money well spent IMHO for what I needed at the time. The only down side is accessing the car from the sides while it's on the lift. I just looked at the prices, they've almost doubled since I bought mine, but what hasn't .

Unfortunately, probably 95% of this stuff is imported. The rolling bridge jack I’ve been saving for to use with my 4 post lift went up $700 about 2 months ago. Because of the timing, I can’t help but wonder if these tariffs didn’t have something to do with it.  Needless to say, it’s on the back burner now.

When I was looking at a Rotary 2 post years ago, the dealer warned me if the company changes its pricing mid order I'm responsible for the increase. 🙃 I couldnt pull the trigger then because of the order, build, delivery, installation timeframe ☹️ Still on my punch list 

The quick jacks are heavy, I guess you could say they are portable. We ran the car on them checking the trans engine install making sure all the gears worked. As I said, downside you can't access under the car from the sides.
