[TR] EZCarLift

[fitzgibbon3 at comcast.net]

Aldwyn,



Did you talk to one of the 4-post retailers and ask about local installers?B 
I thought about one of these a couple years ago and had the same issue.B  The
company I was talking to (it might have been Eagle, but I don't really recall)
said they worked with local installers who could take delivery of the lift and
then bring it out and install it.B  I did not pursue it, so I do not have any
idea of cost.B  Just a thought.

I have been on and off, hot and cold on the EZ Lift. B I would much rather
have a 4 post, but the thought of having to have a forklift here to get the
sucker off the truck and then try and get it assembled just sounds like a
nightmare... so the EZ Lift has been something I have been contemplating as
a alternative.

I did try, once, talking to a company in the area that re-did garages to
see if they would do the installation of a 4 post. B I was told no, they
only used their own lifts, which were meant for parking only, and did not
allow access to the undercarriage.

Anyway, when I saw this group buy, I started contemplating the EZ Lift
again...
