Default Car Lift Installer Recommendations

Hi,

Thought I'd post this here and see if anyone has a recommendation to help me buy and install a car lift.

I like the BendPak lifts from some keyboard warrior research, but I have no brand loyalty to any specific company.

I am in West Los Angeles. Need someone who can visit the garage and help me spec the right product and location for installation given my other garage needs.

I'd take a look at American Custom Lifts before buying the Bendpak. They sell a wide variety of lifts including some made by Quality Lifts in the USA which is what I purchased (they call it the Voyager). They're in San Diego. I had great pre and post sales experiences with them and they arranged for one of their local installers to do a site visit in advance of purchase and to deliver and install the lift. No affiliation other than being a happy customer.

Finished install on Friday! Still need to put the garage back together. It was quite the project. High-lifting the door, new garage door opener, removing cabinetry.

Will update when the garage is put back together. It's all roughed in and the car that is going on the lift is on the way from Cincinnati, Oh.
