Honestly the epoxy job wasn’t too bad - $2200 all in, except I had to pay extra for removing the tiles and additional prep work due to the adhesive. A good rate should be about $1100 per parking spot.

We have a 9-car garage, but we have 10 cars. Instead of selling a car, I'd rather get a lift. The previous owner had four lifts in the garage, so the garage is already set up for lifts with respect to vertical clearance and power. What do you guys recommend for lifts? I'd like something relatively wide, so that it's easy to get cars in and out.

I have a BendPak HD9. great lift. No issues. 6 years. Some people complain about needing air to release safety locks for lowering. A small compressor will do, I have a Mikita (super quiet compared to what I used before). I like the safety lock feature. Just leave the air connected and you have to turn compressor on/off if you don't leave it auto on.

Have a serious look at AutoStacker. They were brand new in market when I bought, so didnt have much end user reviews at the time. However, they seem to be equally great and easier to get on/off with less space taken up in a garage. They come in 2 widths.

Ease of use is key.

Does the center metal sheet on the Autostacker come off? Meaning - is is possible to work on the underside with this set up?

I don't believe it does. One assembly. It's a parking solution not parking/wrenching. Standard 4 post for that, even that is limiting when compared to a 2 post.

Other option would be to have a 4 post in one bay and rest be autostackers. So you have options. Or one bay with a quickjack that you can put away.

I have 4 bays, 2 with the wide model of Autostacker. Have been in place about a year. Love them.

Took the Touring out to get the DSC Controller ride height set to zero. I can't believe it's been almost 6 years of ownership. A very special car imo...

absolutely would because of the terrible customer service

i have 4 total lifts, other 2 not as fancy as the challengers...the challengers are heavy duty...ordered 2 rolling jacks to be able to wrench, and they are useless, barely extend wide enough to lift a jeep wrangler, complete waste

I had the same issue with the rolling jacks or bridge jacks but these guys sell extensions. Problem solved. https://www.sviinternational.com/
