Just thought I'd throw in my $0.02 worth, as I bought the lift on the last group buy.  Boytcho is not kidding, call him with questions or clarifications.  He really answers the phone.

The EZCarlift is not for everyone. There are definitely cheaper lifts out there, and they will lift higher and faster. If that's all you're looking for, to rotate tires and change oil, then this is not the one for you. Seriously.

But, if you have limited ceiling height, limited floor space, want real portability to use a lift anywhere (powerwash the underside of your truck outside?  no problem!), share the cost with a close relative, want real open access underneath (not having to work AROUND the bracing on a standard low rise lift), want to park the car THERE and lift it THERE, not where the lift is bolted to the floor, don't want to limit your garage to a lift bay, because heaven forbid you actually use your garage for something besides lifting a car, and like the easy ability to micro-raise/lower and stop the lift at any height (and when you're dropping or installing a tranny, this is worth it's weight in gold)....if these things are important to you, then there is no other choice!! I've used my lift on 4 different vehicles, with 2 different cross widths, about  a 1/2 dozen times in the last few months.  Whenever I use it, I am glad with how easy it is to set up, use, and put away.  Friends that have come over are really impressed. And I've lent it to one friend who swears he has to get one (if his wife will let him).  That's another thing.  If the wife shares the garage, and she's anything like mine, a 2 post or 4 post lift is out of the question. "What if we move?", " I don't want to drive around that thing", yada yada yada.  If I have to explain it, then you're not married. This one is easy. Do a brake job or 2, change some struts, change tranny/diff fluid/exhaust whatever, where you just don't want to hassle with jacks, and stands and ramps..and poof, this pays for itself.  And guess what?  If you find it's not for you after all, or you really only need a lift for that one huge job, then you'll never work on a car again, (I swear) you can SELL it EASILY on ebay for 3/4's what you paid in a heartbeat, because you can SHIP the damn thing anywhere.  Try that with a 4 post lift.  For me, it really was a no brainer.  Glad to answer any questions on it that you may have.

Boytcho,

Thanx for the information. I took your advice and went with the Bosch drill. It's fantastic! Got my 325ix in the air at full height and I am amazed at how much access I have. And, it's incredibly steady, so I can grab it anywhere and use the leverage to roll myself around under the car. I'm even inventing things to do because I'm having so much fun! I wish I had this 20 years ago!

I took some pictures and brought them into work to show a fellow gear head. He loves it too. Bonus time is coming up, so it may make it to his Christmas list.

Thanx again. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Ron S., New Fairview, CT

Boytcho,
I received all three packages containing the car lift yesterday, opened them, read the instructions, and assembled the lift in two hours. I'm impressed by the simplicity of design and construction. It's easy to move about my crowded garage, and easy to tilt up and store against a wall. The EZcarlift will be a valuable tool for me.

Thanks,

Ed H., Stow, MA

Boytcho,

I put the lift together today and tried it out. It works great. It's very nicely made. It would have been nice if the spacer bars were 62 inches instead of 60 inches (Note: spacer configuration updated to accommodate the 62”-xm64 vs old xm62), as the wood blocks in the plastic jacking cups on my BMW go right to the outer edge on the rubber pads on the lift. My 4.8 amp Bosch drill can lift the car but has to work very hard. I'm going to have to get a heavy duty electric drill.

Leonard S., Houston, TX

PROUD OWNER OF E-Z CARLIFT BY GIL D.

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A CAR LIFT THAT I COULD USE ON MY MG’S FOR SOME TIME. I HAVE A 1962 MGA MK 11 ROADSTER AND A 1974.5 RB MGBGT. MY GARAGE IS LOCATED UNDER MY HOME AND HAS ABOUT 8 FOOT 6 INCHES CLEARANCE FROM FLOOR TO CEILING. THE MAXIMUM I COULD LIFT THE MGBGT IS ABOUT 32 INCHES BEFORE THE TOP WOULD HIT THE FLOOR JOIST. MAYBE THE MGA A FEW INCHES HIGHER. SEACHING THE INTERNET MANY TIMES AND THE ONLY CHOICES I COULD FIND WERE:

1. A 4 POST LIFT WITH POSTS TOO TALL TO INSTALL AND WEIGHING TOO MUCH FOR ME TO HANDLE.

2. A TWO POST LIFT WITH THE SAME POST HEIGHT PROBLEM AND HAVING TO BE BOLTED TO THE FLOOR.

3. A SCISSOR TYPE LIFT THAT SEEMED IDEAL IT WAS EASY TO PUT UNDER CAR AND EASY TO LIFT AND THE MAX HEIGHT WAS ABOUT 48 INCHES.

ONE DAY WHILE SURFING THE INTERNET UNDER CARS AND CORVAIRS IN PARTICULAR LO AND BEHOLD THERE WAS A REFERENCE TO A LIFT SITE WWW.EZCARLIFT.COM. NEVER SEEING THIS BEFORE I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THIS LINK FIGURING IT WOULD JUST BE ANOTHER RUN OF MILL SITE FOR CAR LIFTS.

MAN WAS I SURPRISED.

I SPENT AN HOUR OR SO LOOKING AT THIS LIFT EVEN DOWNLOADING ALL OF THE VIDEOS IT HAD ON IT. THIS LIFT IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR.

HERE ARE A FEW THINGS THAT IMPRESSED ME.

1. IT WOULD LIFT 4400 POUNDS.

2. IT IS 4 INCHES TALL AND LIFTS 26 INCHES MAX.

3. NO MORE JACKING UP OR PUTTIN ON RAMPS

4. IT HAD LIFTING RAMPS THAT CAN BE ORDERED TO SUIT WIDTH BETWEEN RAMPS

5. IT WAS OPERATED OFF OF A DRILL MOTOR

6. ITS TOTAL WEIGHT WAS ABOUT 145 POUNDS

7. DISASSEMBLED THE HEAVIEST PIECE WAS 51 POUNDS MAKINING IT PORTABLE TO ANOTHER LOCATION.

8. STORES AGAINST WALL OR DISASSEMBLED MOST ANYWHERE

9. IT HAD SMALL CASTER ON IT SO IT ROLLED ON THE FLOOR EASILY

10. IT COULD BE ROLLED UNDER YOUR CAR FROM THE SIDE

11. IF YOU GARAGE WAS NARROW YOU CAN DRIVE OVER IT EASILY

12. LIFTIN PADS ARE ADJUSTABLE TO SUIT

13. IT ALSO HAD AN OPTIONAL CASTER KIT THAT ALLOW YOU TO LOWER YOU CAR TO THE CASTERS AND BE ABLE TO ROLL YOU CAR AROUND THE GARAGE FOR EASIER ACCESS.

AFTER A FEW DAYS OF PROCRASTINATING I SENT AN EMAIL TO THE COMPANY WITH A FEW QUESTIONS. IT WAS ON A SUNDAY AND I IMMEDIATELY GOT A RESPONSE TO MY EMAIL.

NEXT DAY I CALLED THE 800 NUMBER ON THE WEBSITE AND THE OWNER IMMEDIATELY PICKED UP THE PHONE AND WE CHATTED FOR ABOUT A HALF HOUR. SINCE I AM AN ENGINEER MYSELF, I ASKED MANY QUESTIONS AND EACH WAS ANSWERED BY A VERY NICE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE MAN. (WITH A SLIGHT ACCENT HAHA) AT THIS POINT I DECIDED TO ORDER ONE. THIS WAS THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND I WAS GOING TO BE AWAY SO I ASKED HIM TO HOLD THE SHIPMENT UNTIL THE DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS. NO PROBLEM THERE. I ORDERED THE E-ZCARLIFT OF COURSE.

WHEN IT ARRIVED ABOUT 3 DAYS AFTER CHRISTMAS IT CAME IN THREE BOXES.

1. OPTIONAL CASTER KIT IN ONE BOX

2. SPACERS BETWEEN RAMPS

3. RAMPS

I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE WAY EVERYTHING WAS PREPARED FOR SHIPPING INSIDE THE BOXES. ALL OF THE CONTENTS OF THESE BOXES WERE WRAPPED WITH VISQUENE WRAPPING AND WELL PADDED. THE CROSSBAR SPACERS WERE INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED AND THEN WRAPPED TOGTHER WITH THE VISQUENE WRAP. THE RAMPS WERE ALSO WRAPPED AND THE ENDS WERE ATTACHED BY A 1/2 INCH PLYWOOD SPACER USING THE BOLTS AND NUTS TO BE USED LATER TO ATTACH THE CROSSBARS.

THE OPTIONAL CASTER KIT WAS INDIVIDUALLY WRAPPED ALSO. THE ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS WERE VERY SIMPLE AND EASY TO FOLLOW WITH PHOTOGRAPHS SHOWING WHERE EACH PIECE WENT.

THE QUALITY OF THE CONSTRUCTION IS EXCELLENT AND I WOULD NOT DOUBT ITS STUCTURAL INTEGRITY.

AFTER ASSEMBLING THE LIFT, I ROLLED IT UNDER MY MGA 1600 MKII AND PUT A 2X4 BLOCK ON EACH ADJUSTABLE LIFTING PAD AND ALIGNED IT WITH THE FRAME. I ONLY HAD A ONE SPEED 3.5 AMP 3/8 INCH DRILL MOTOR ON HAND BUT I WAS ABLE TO USE IT INTERMITTENTLY AND LIFT THE MGA ALL THE WAY UP AND CHECK THE STABILITY OF THE LIFT. ONCE THE CAR WAS LIFTED, I WAS ABLE TO GET MY CREEPER UNDER THE CAR WITH PLENTY OF SPACE TO AND ACCESSABLILITY TO ANYTHING UNDER THE CAR THAT I WOULD NEED TO WORK ON.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS LIFT FOR ANYONE’S GARAGE THAT HAS A LOW CEILING HEIGHT AND WANTS TO BE ABLE TO GET UNDER THEIR CARS FOR EASY ACCESS TO THE UNDERSIDE.

GIL D., Chattanooga, TN - PROUD OWNER OF E-Z Carlift

I finally had a chance to play with the lift today. It is very well engineered and made. I am having a hard time with the BMW - part of the exhaust blocks me from sliding the lift under it, but here are some pics with my other car.

The caster kit works great - the wheels are large so it moves very easily - almost too easily, way better than my wheel dollies.

Robert O., Naperville, IL

Great product – I’m really looking forward to working on the car once we get a little break in the weather. Still pretty chilly in the garage right now.

Subject: EZ Car Lift Owner

Haven’t posted a note to the list in awhile, but when I saw the notes about the EZ Lift I couldn’t resist. I’ve had one for 2 years and I absolutely love it. The shear mobility of it is what I like. When you have multiple cars you can go from car to car -without moving to a stationary lift. When your not using it, it stands up in a corner. When you do need it you just roll it under your car from any angle…front, side or rear. It leaves much more accessibility under a car than the conventional scizzor lift. Mine is sized for a TR6 and when working on the shorter TR7 I just turned the thing 180 degrees and went right to town.

Somebody asked about lowered clearance….it does not exceed 4.25”. I also bought the wheel attachment option….HUGE BENEFIT…..work on your car for the weekend and then tuck the thing to the back of the garage during the week, so your significant other can use the garage….let me tell you…it’s HUGE. I don’t know if you realize it, but you can strap the wheels on when the car is ON the lift. So, instead of putting everything away, you strap the wheels on and move it. Rolls with one hand pushing !!! Push the whole thing into the driveway and hose your work off…..

I too studied lifts for a long time, and at the time of purchase I only had a 7’ ceiling….that was the deciding factor. Plus, I didn’t want a permanent structure in my home garage. The unit is very rugged and well designed, plus the owner/designer of the company (Boytcho Manev) is very supportive and will answer every call, plus follow up with you to be sure your happy. If you talk to him tell him I said Hi.

I challenge you to find that service with the Chinese 4 post lifts. Feel free to drop me a note if you have more questions.

Jim K. (http://www.kingtriumphs.com/)

Hey Boytcho, How’s it going? Just thought I’d drop you some pictures of my 330ci on the lift. I am also including some pictures of how I keep it stored in the garage. Please feel free to use any of them anywhere you wish. I had to use the lift because the PowerFlex lower control arm bushings I had on my car failed – I mean they literally fell apart; disintegrated may be a better word! Well, at any rate, I had a bushing filled day today (LCA bushings, sway bar bushings and rear shock mount bushings) and I can’t imagine doing the job without my lift! I also included pictures of the derelict bushing that started all this sh*t!

Regards,

Nick M.

Greetings from England!

I'm just dropping you a line to say that the Lift arrived safely and all components work, and I would just like to express what a marvelous piece of equipment you have designed and manufactured and every Classic Car Enthusiast should own one. I will be showing our local Stag Owners Club pictures of the lift in operation and, who knows, you may get more orders!! Let hope eh!!

I can't fault the service you have given me and FedEx delivered on time. Many thanks and good luck for the future.

Regards,

Allen B., Stanford-Le-Hope, Essex, England

Hi Boytcho,

I just wanted to say thanks for the great product you have designed. I can tell there has been much thought put into the lift and everything is top-notch. The quality of each component is outstanding and everything looks great, too. I have not found a better, more compact lift anywhere for the money. I am very pleased with my purchase!

Steve K., Irvine, CA – 2008 Mustang

Boytcho,

The EZCar Lift worked great on my '93 BMW 740IL with no problems and no modifications (although it wasted a brand new Harbor Freight drill). Take care and thanks for a very cool tool.

Ron B., Monroeville, PA

Hi, I was wondering what size cross bar I need to lift a 75 Corvette? I have the lift and got the short bar to lift my 1979 Spitfire and now need the cross bar to lift my 1975 Corvette. This is a great lift, it sure makes working on the car so much easier and more fun, not to mention the "Looking Cool effect".

Thanks,

John J., Park Forest, IL

Mr. Manev,

I'm sure by now you are a little tired of hearing from me but you asked for some photos. I've attached some but it was late so I'll send some better ones one day when the sun is shining.

Anyway, it worked like advertised and flawlessly once you educated me on amperage and RPM. In the internal combustion world it is said that "there is no replacement for displacement." I have learned that in the power tool world "the more the amps the better the chance." Thank you for the electrical tool education and the amazing product. You will hear from me soon with an order for different widths and please let me know when you finish the motorcycle lift design. Realizing you are a busy man, I'll be checking your web periodically to see if the motorcycle ramp design is finished and you already have one sold.

Thanks again for your patience and product,

Chris H., Cabot, AR

Hi Boytcho,

I had called you earlier today about my smoking drill. I took your advice and picked up an 18 volt drill that is 0-850 rpms. This worked PERFECTLY! Without a problem, my M3 was lifted off the ground. I can't tell you how excited and happy I am with this lift!!! My neighbor came over to help me install a new supercharger and was AMAZED with the lift, and how high off the ground the car was. And this was only at maybe half the potential of your lift. The car is incredibly sturdy. I have never had the courage to jack my car this high and put it on jack stands. That always felt unsafe. Your E-Z carlift is amazing! I can't wait to get back in the garage tomorrow to run my methanol lines under the car!!! What a breeze it is getting under there to wrench!!

Your product is an A++++!!!!! I can't say enough good things about it. If you would like an "official" testimonial and/or pictures for your site, please let me know, I would be HAPPY to!

Mike R., Monte Kisco, NY

Boytcho,

Thanks for this. It makes the use of the LSK (Limited Space Kit) very clear. I will be trying it all out today. BTW Your Customer Support is as high quality as your product is!

Again, I am very pleased and impressed with your product. I am sure it will serve me well in the years to come.

Thanks again,

Mark B., Beaverton, OR

Boytcho,

I must say I’ve been impressed with the quality and level of support after purchasing my EZcarlift from you at the Great Western Fan Belt Toss in 2007. I’ve received lubricant and various modifications to keep my lift in top shape, and that’s really appreciated.

Regards,

Jim H., Redondo Beach, CA

My son and I are currently putting our EZcarlift to use with his 66 Corvair. We've replaced the entire front suspension and are now working on the rear. We've had it on the lift constantly for the last two months - we have limited time to work on it due to our jobs. But the lift has performed beautifully - we really like it.

Thanks again,

Bill A., Saraland, AL

Boytcho,

My 356 is on your lift as I write this and I am please as hell to have her there for the winter work that will be done. Merry Christmas to you and your family. And Happy New Year.

Bob F., Shoreline, WA

Hey Boytcho.

I just want to thank you again for this awesome lift. I have used it on my Mustang, dad's Chevelle, sister’s Saturn Ion and my bro in law's Nissan Murano. All these carswith one lift how convenient is that... It has paid for itself over and over. It has been very reliable and never gives us a problem. It is so easy to transport as well. We made a dolly for it and I can wheel it anywhere. I really like how you stand behind your product. I did the update that you sent me, was very easy to do. Thanks again for a great product.

Sincerely,

Chris D., West Babylon, NY

Hi Boytcho,

I wanted to tell you that your customer service is excellent. I think it is great that you send out updates to your lift (twice this year). It is very reassuring that I bought a high quality product from a really good guy.

I'm still loving the lift and tell everyone about it. I even had the opportunity to demo the lift when I had my garage door repaired a few months ago. The guy asked "what's that?" I had to show him.

Thanks for creating a great product.

Ted S., Oakton, VA

I would like to wish you the very best for the coming year and keep up the good work and the great ideas like this EZcarlift that is so wonderful to use, so far I am very pleased and I hope you can have other great things in the future.

Normand G., St-Eustache, Quebec, Canada

I have nothing but praises for you and the lift you created and continue to maintain... It makes my life both safer and easier while working on my 95 M3.

Regards,

Kevin D., Woodridge, IL

I've had mine for 6 months now and love it. I purchased a heavy duty DeWalt drill that raises even the max load quickly and without much effort. Probably the greatest part of it is the ease of access under the car from the sides or ends. If I'd only had this earlier....

RAF

Boytcho,

Just received the car lift this afternoon and I love it. As I told you safety is a big concern for me. This unit is exactly what I have been looking for. As you can see from the pictures I already put my 61 triumph tr3 in the air. So easy. Can’t wait to use it on the AmphiCar.

Thanks,

Jim H., Winter Park, FL

It is pleasure now to lift my cars. I just finished with new brakes on my Amphi.

Thanks,

Jim H., Winter Park, FL

Dear Boytcho,

My name is Chuck P., I bought one of your EZ Car Lifts around Xmas. The bow you added to the shipment was a nice touch. Since I received the lift I have used it over a dozen times. It is by far the best tool I've ever purchased for my garage. With the cross spacer XM-64 I am able to lift my 1965 Chevy Impala, 2003 Hyundai Sante Fe and my 2005 Toyota Solara. The lift makes oil changes, tire rotation, exhaust work and any other under car work a total breeze. With the added casters I bought I can now turn my 2 car garage into a temporary 3 car garage which is great for keeping me from clearing snow off any of my cars. Its portability and ease of use are truly out of this world. I wish you the greatest of success you've truly created the best lift at a reasonable price for us backyard mechanics. Thanks again!

Chuck P., Hummelstown, PA

I purchased an EZ car lift over a year ago. I personally think it is one great product. I do not use it often, but it works as advertised, the construction is first class.
