Default Car Lift Storage System installation

Does anyone know the rough cost for a four post car lift system? I have a tandem 3 car garage but the problem is the 3rd spot is always full of kids cars and bikes.
I am considering install a lift system and seems like the equipment itself is only going for approximately 3-4K on Kijiji.
Please share your experience if you’ve had one would be appreciated

I got this last year. I am guessing it is more now.

Paid 1k to have it installed.

My 4 post from direct lift was $750 for installation. About 4500 all in.

I just wish I had gotten two of the sliding hydraulic jacks so I could lift both ends of the car at the same time.

i don't know your age, but if you're young enough to be full of kids bikes etc... I don't imagine it being too hard with some buddies and a case of beer...

I had to break out two 3'x3' foot sections of my garage floor and pour 12+" piers for my 2 post lift install about 10 yrs ago.... Renting a concrete saw and SDS drill....

Wow, that sounds awesome. I wouldn't even know where/how to look for someone who is in the business of doing this. What keywords do I use to search for services like this ? Any help would be appreciated. Thx

I did the exact same thing for a buddies 2 post lift.....I was 30 at the time.....At 53, I decided to let the pro's do the install. I was also in a time crunch as the closing date for the old house was approaching.

The guys that installed my direct lift came with the lift already half put together. They were done in 3 hours.
