Default Transfusioins...Made Easy!
Love my New Quickjack!
Used it for detailing wheel openings a week ago.
Did my first oil transfusion today! So much easier than driving up on blocks and messing around with jacks and jack Stands. Wish I had owned one 10 years ago!
Quickjack should be paying me for this!

Sounds a lot easier! Which model did you go with? Do you drive over a Quickjack or does it need to be positioned in place after the car is parked?

Does it work on a lowered car?

From what I’ve read here on the forum, the Quick Jack is a very handy item to have in the garage. My garage does not allow a full size lift due to ceiling height restrictions so something like the Quick Jack would work very well. I’ve been considering one of them. Thanks for the recommendation.

I went with the 5000 SLX. It is a little heavier, but I can use it on my other vehicles as well.

It works perfect for me. I have a 9 1/2 ceiling but my garage door and opener limit height.

Default Lifting Pucks
Do you still use the jack pucks that fit into the slots on the frame rails? It looks like the rubber blocks would put pressure on the rockers.

I want one but even at only 3" tall, it isn't going to fit under either of my C5s without driving up on wood planks.
