I don't know about their website but I have a Autolifters 2 post lift that is great. If I buy a 4 post lift I will buy one of theirs. Jimmy

Let me give you the bad news.
I heard from a guy in Kansas that they filed bankruptcy last week.
I hope he is wrong !!!

If that is the case -

I am REALLY pissed at all our members here that will go out and purchase one of those cheap chinese crap car lifts, and not give a RATS *** about where something is constructed.

I am sure I will get a lot of heat for this, but this really seems to hit home.
I was only considering 2 lift companies - autolifters and backyard buddy - for a new 4 poster, because they are built in the USA !!!

And, good luck on your deal. I hope it all works out for you.

Again, HOPEFULLY the info that I received was wrong !!!!!!

Don't assume being built in the USA means quality or a good reputation. I've been burned by good old built in the USA companies before!
