My S4 is a bit too low to go into my garage front first. There's a 2" tall concrete right angle up from the driveway into the garage. Lately, I've had to jump start the car almost every time I drive it, which is sadly once about once a month (it's got a brand new battery; must be a power drain somewhere), and that's a PITA when the battery is jammed in the back of the garage! So, until I fix the power drain and just because the 2" lip is annoying in general... I'd like some recommendations for what to do about this... should I get small ramps? I'd think they'd need to be pretty long (over 1 ft) to be useful. I could also go the paving route, which would definitely look nicer. TIA

While you are pondering your driveway repair solution you might want to consider installing a battery maintainer. I've had one on my car since I bought it . There should be some threads on this topic to help you decide.

+1 on the battery maintainer, works great!

You can use a piece of 5/4"x6" pressure treated wood layed flat in front of the 2" lip as a step up (1" thick).

Just a side note here, but if you car is too low to go up 2", you should probably raise your ride height before you damage the AC, alternator, or block.
