Default Considering getting a lift.

Hey guys, I am starting to track my car more and would love to have a lift to faciliate simple tasks (brake bleeding, oil, tranny, diff fluid changes...etc). I have found several affordable, portable options. Does anyone have any experience with any of these? Any other lifts they might recommend? I have a 3 and 1/2 car garage with about 9 foot ceilings. I am definitely going to have to stick with low-profile lifts (no 2-post or 4-post) Any input is appreciated. Thanks
Scott

I have a mid rise lift from Super Lifts. I am happy with the lift but their customer service was very poor.

The mid rise is good. If you want something more like a real lift..look at the Greg Smith 4 posts. We have two posts lifts here and I cuss everytime I have to put my Vette on one.

Thanks for the input guys. I've seen that Greg Smith site before. Looks like a nice lift and it has good access to the middle of the car underneath. Christmas is only a little over 2 months away!
