Default Is this a scam

The lift lists for $3500 on sale for $899 how can that be?
The old proverbial if it looks too good to be true?

I have a Bendpak 4 post, and I understand buying lifts even around $3k like Tuxedo, but I’m not touching a $900 lift from a company that sounds like they bagged me.

lol. maxjax is a legit company. if you like the maxjax product, buy it and see what shows up -- your credit card company will protect you.

Max Jax are decent...they are made by Bend Pack.

That website seems to be a scam....many items are a lot cheaper than elsewhere. The mailing address looks to be a home in a not very nice neighborhood. I would say its a scam site set yo to obtain your cc/billing info.

I have a 4 post BendPak as well. It’s been very reliable. Do your diligence, in my opinion it’s not worth the hassle over time to get inferior products.

Maxjax is a good lift the issue is can they really be selling a 3500 lift for 899?

Kind of sounds like the retailer or the manufacturer is going out of business. I'd probably do a bit of research into the retailer. Maybe call the manufacturer and see if the retailer is someone they actually know?

Interesting assortment of products in their catalog at ok to really low pricing... corporate HQ appears to be an abandoned house.
I wouldn't trust any cheap two post lift but the 4 posts work fine - recommend extra long / wide versions.
Since your using a credit card, only risk to you is some wasted time!

For most home applications Quick Jack works great for everything that we would need for our cars. Unless you were doing major work constantly under the car or storing one car over another in which case I would not trust a two post lift.
