I worked on hobby cars the first 15 years rolling around on my back under Jack stands and then looked into a lift which was the absolute best investment I ever made. In my case because I have a high ceiling garage the lift acts as a place to store a car while another can be parked under. I love my lift. They really don't cost all that much, I think about $2000.00 20 years ago. I have used my lift to pull and install plenty a VW engines. I either raise or lower the car down too or up and away from the engine sitting on a rolling table. The lift also makes detailing your car a snap, no bending over to clean the wheels and lower parts of the car. If you consider yourself a car guy/gal consider a lift. I promise you won't regret it. My lift even has wheels and can be moved around the garage if needed. I have moved twice and the lift came with me. They are easy to move without disassembly. You pull a flat car trailer under the lift and lower it down until the lift rails come down on to the trailer. The hydraulic pressure raises the 4 support post up and off the ground. Unplug the cord for the hydraulic motor and drive off with the lift on the trailer, easy peasy.
