x2 on this.

All you need to do is break past the idea that buying a lift for yourself is a crazy move.

Best thing ive ever done, after getting hosed on some work vehicle repairs, I was sick of paying through the nose, so I decided I was going to do most of my own maintenance instead.

Within a week, I had bought a 12k two post out of a closing auto shop for 700 bucks, cost me another 500 to have it put up by an insured team, and a few hundred to transport it down, still, less than 2k and I have a 2 post in my workspace behind a bunch of appliances that can lift a full size pickup.

Ive saved more than that in maintenance costs I can do myself now in the 2.5 years ive had it, so its been a good investment. The only downside, is if you have a project car, it starts to live on the lift.
