I like Eagle lifts. They are fairly reasonable and they are made in Texas
I believe. Now all I have to do is make my garage taller. :-)

Re: Anyone have a lift in their garage?
Yeah I liked using my buddy's lift. He had a 15' tall garage behind his
house.
Made a lot of work much easier. <g>
He said it cost him $3500 for the 2-post lift and $650 to have it installed
in a few hours.

Re: Anyone have a lift in their garage?
My Brother-In-Law built such a garage, 3 bays with a lift in the first bay.
It was bought at auction locally. Watch for service stations to close and go
to auction liquidation. I know his lifts big enough to put a full size van
on it and lift it into the air high enough not to crouch under for access.
Yet it still doesn't hit the ceiling. Of course he expects to be a
self-employed mechanic and is in the market for a wheel lift wrecker yet.
