Why not ask at one of your local repair shop what they do?
Especially in the
 San Fernando Valley where I believe the last big one was???

 I live in Southern California, AKA
earthquake country.  I have a four post
 lift that, like most four post lifts,
does not have to be bolted down.  One
 concern I have, however, is what
happens to a car on the lift and a car
 below
 the lift in the case of an
earthquake.  Seems to me that a moderately strong
 earthquake could topple a
lift leaving both the top and bottom cars in a bad
 state.  But, just bolting
a lift down would not seem to be enough.  Unless
 the
 bolts extended well
into a deep footing, I would think a moderately strong
 earthquake would pull
the bolts out of the ground.  Does anyone have any
 ideas
 as to how to
earthquake-proof a lift?
