Since so many of you have been asking about the car lift in my garage, I figured I'd give a mini review and a demonstration of how it works! I cover how much it costs, how much space you need, how it works and much more!

[@Alexst0rey]

21:got a 12 car garage. Josh:hold my car lift.

[@fernandonoriega4840]

The transparency of your channel is what I appreciate the most

[@dominicrussell8158]

I think it helps that the money has mostly come from KZbin, so this is him giving something back

[@LukeScott74]

Great video. Been waiting for someone to run us through what a garage lift is like to live with. Thanks heaps.

[@TheLanceGTA]

Great video man. I have the Alfa Giulietta which had the entire drivetrain of the 4c, mine is tuned to 300bhp, will soon get a TCU tune for the TcT gearbox. The channel ia great, refreshing to see just normal car stuff... Bot this over the top stuff KZbinrs feel they have to do.

[@tonyel99]

Great video! Answered a lot of my questions about a lift!

[@yozeboze9167]

Soccer reviews to car reviews😭 time flies

[@danyDesigns]

Not just cars... Super cars!

[@410jman23]

very helpful. Been house shopping in this crazy market and one property had a lift very similar that I wanted to source, had no idea it fit the budget. Thanks for the share!

[@chasinglimits]

Thanks for posting this up, now i'm really motivated to get one in my garage, although i have 9' 10" clearance to the ceiling should be enough i would think. Do you happen to have a link/store website to this exact one? keep up the great work, love the Alfa btw! :D

[@nattcharles]

Nice video. To help drive it onto the ramps on your own fit some mirrors to the wall in front so you can see where the wheels are in relation to the ramps.

[@King-ql4tg]

Loved this video. Great job dude.👍 Could you please do a video on maintaining a Lamborghini? What I mean by that is what does a Lamborghini owner need to know about Lambos. I noticed you charging the batteries and doing some other stuff in this video. Thanks a lot.

[@ExLondoner]

Thank you for a great informative and transparent video, I really got a lot out of it. I have a 4post being installed either this week or next, very excited. What are your garage dimensions, I hear you mention the height but didn't capture the length x width. Keep up the great work!

[@lastofthelatebrakers5800]

Thanks for doing this video. Your ceiling height measurement is also very helpful.

[@rogerfariaamaral]

Love this content!

[@iDeondrae]

Nice congrats on everything man

[@_gabriontulang_]

Can you make a video of how you wash your cars and what products you use? Love your channel and keep up the great content!

[@phillipknox5010]

glad you did this as I've been waiting for a review on it. With only an 8.5 foot high garage, sadly I can't do what you have done.

[@carguy0389]

You have a short garage

[@OskarAugustin]

I would get way too paranoid if I had a car lift.

[@carproblems8547]

I was really paranoid when I first got it, but once you get used to using it, it's honestly no big deal. I just make sure that I'm careful and I always take my time when using it.

[@campkira]

@@carproblems8547 it don't worth it since.... maintaince cost on those thing just too much.. i had 40 unit of those for my company and it a pain to maintiance...

[@alexspitzner]

@@campkiraNot a huge amount of maintenance when you just having one. Especially those living close to or in the cities it is definitely worth it. I can see how 40 could be a pain in the behind.

[@somaxusa]

@@campkira what maintenance these lifts require?

[@stanlee3619]

Really great explanation.

[@kendesarmasagi6008]

love your garage decorations especially the f1 tire, where did you get that?

[@carproblems8547]

Ebay. It's not an F1 tire by the way. As far as I'm aware, Pirelli takes all of those back once they're used and scraps them.

[@adoruss]

You can get them if you ask the teams in events with open pit lane like Ferrari Challenge or Lamborghini Super Trofeo, a friend was able to get a brake disc as well as 2 rear tires

[@Scott-rf5ux]

Great video, I found it very helpful to see some low cars going up and down the ramps. I love the artwork (logos) on the red wall. Where did you get those from? (Yes I know this is an old video but I'm hoping you'll see this)

[@sbfhawk4343]

Yeah this is what I am planning to do. I might go with the bendpak unit but for two CRXS they should fit just fine since they are bit lower then your Lambo.

[@Rrl32591]

Awesome video

[@Joeyarhino1]

dude, those lamborghini rims are kick ass!!! I could just stare at them all day

[@eugenebrown1810]

Thanks for the info this way I can just look for a 2 car garage home!!

[@DoctaM3]

Cool setup. Doubt the AMG on that side would work. Also surprised they didn’t bolt into the ground especially since any vibration could cause some shifting.

[@ocasio3024]

Excellent video. Thank you for showing this. I have 2 classic Mustangs and a Performante like you do and need a lift. It looks pretty easy to work and maintain. Thank you brother…. ( cool lil Alfa. Sounds awesome)

[@DoctaM3]

Pretty cool,setup. Def AMG setup under the lift might be a clearance problem.

[@dbase308]

i’m not sure why you’re not one of the #1 car youtubers yet

[@eriqm1]

hi, loved your setup, would you be able to share where did you order your lift? thanks.

[@Mrmufcman]

Jeff: Sorry. I'm not organised Us: We know. We have seen your boot room

[@545i44]

Nice lift man!

[@ThePSO51]

thanks looks good the only thing that bothered me was the little bit of sway I saw when going down and up on the post. I would assume that would not happen if at least one bolt was in the concert base. In any case awesome set up

[@shakester2010]

Gorgeous cars! :)

[@likedamaster]

There's much more elegant solutions for that type of money, I'm appalled. Thank you for the video, these types with fancy cars always interest me. 😊

[@t.kmartin1026]

What are those?

[@VictorDoesCars]

Such a nice thing ✌🏼

[@newmoon54]

When you lowered one of the cars I saw a noticeable wavering of the posts! You may want to consider either having 4 1/4 inch steel plates maybe 20 x 20 inches (roughly!) To place UNDER the feet of each post, and have them welded in place~!~ This would prevent any wavering from happening~!~ Cheers~!~

[@heeaach]

Looks great. I want to ask; what is the max weight that shelf can carry?

[@bhvrdr]

I have the same ceiling height and looking at options now. What extension ramps did you use? I have a low car too

[@nicholasantunez4450]

The alpha looks like a cute little toy car, it looks super fun to drive

[@rationalplinker3937]

Both! (interesting & informative) Will your pickup fit in the garage?

[@alfredovelazquez2389]

Always second man!!!

[@damondrew619]

Hello bro nice video on your lift, but the question that I have is about something else ,may I ask ,where did you get your wing for your Lambo or did it come with the car?

[@frankmorgan2772]

Good info, I think I'll import them from Canada, 'cause here in UK I've been asked £4,500 each, and I'll need 6 of those lifts for my new house. Thanks mate

[@zacjohnson452]

Awesome!

[@kaavyatak263]

Always first bro

[@ifitistobeitisuptome]

I think I would like some bolts in the ground regardless of if necessary or not! It just looks a little vulnerable without them. If something was to ever crash into one of the legs, say another car, or quad bike or whatever? I would expect the entire thing to crumple to the ground in a big old mess! So yeah for me I would be drilling a few bolts into that concrete just to be safe. But great video review, thanks.

[@timholton9116]

Thanks for the video. I see we both live in Ontario so this is timely. I am buying a lift and would appreciate knowing who you bought from? Thanks

[@dirklahong]

Love the channel and content from Australia 🤙 wanted to ask you even with how low the Performante sits and with the suspension lift system...how much of an issue would you say that is for you to daily? In Australia there are many garages or driveways including mine are quite steep - would you say when the Lambo is lifted it can clear most driveways and if you could show with approx. angles that the Performante can possibly clear. I hope you are able to help me with this as the Performante is on the list but I am intimidated with how low it is. Thank you for your help in advance and hopefully to hear from your expertise and advise!!!

[@carproblems8547]

The front lift should allow you to clear most normal driveways and bumps, but it must be said that it isn't exactly fast when it comes to actually raising up. Can you daily the car, for sure. Would it be a good daily, not really. I think an Audi R8, if the intention is to daily drive the car, would be a much better choice.

[@dirklahong]

Car Problems thank you for getting back to me so quickly with your expertise 🙏 star struck to even get a response...I will look into an R8 down here...possibly a RWS version too - a big fan of your channel and will continue to support you!!

[@ZAKIZZY]

Where did you get it from? Looking to get one installed in Whitby

[@-daigher-2549]

2:30 the high part is in the rear so you can fit a massive wing!

[@canadiangp9366]

Interesting video once again Josh but after watching what's all involved in moving the two cars around I think it's time to buy a 6 car garage with a house attached out on our favourite country road. I'm sure you know which one I mean.

[@ericworthington7299]

6 car garage with an attached 3 room (bed,bath,kitchen) house...

[@ktmdays]

I got a 10ft ceiling if I raise my door like u do u think my convertible vette on top with a seadoo ski on bottom will work

[@russelltaylor3282]

You may have mentioned this , but where did you buy the lift from at that price point? Thanks for the info.

[@joebarron9220]

Great video also from Ontario do you know where to get techno lifts? thank you 👍appreciate it

[@turbojdm]

Wondering the same thing! @carproblems8547?

[@luisgonzales2319]

Did you adjust the height of the ceiling of your garage?

[@kevinz0681]

Ok so I should be able to stack 2 Z06’s with a 10ft ceiling. But is that electric or air powered ? Had a.36 by 36 garage built and already have electric wire ran.

[@reyliruiz1219]

josh do you wash/detail your own cars ? if so a video on your own process of it would be a good video

[@carproblems8547]

Absolutely I do! I've had quite a few requests for a video like this, so I'll definitely be making that one.

[@paulsandhu1432]

Do you have a contact for the place you got the lift from? I'm in the market for one and I'm in the GTA.

[@sampa8453]

Who did your Lift install and garage door modification?

[@rc7016]

good information. side mount garage door openers are awesome. just as an FYI, without your lift bolted down, if the hydraulics fail for whatever reason and something is damaged, you insurance policy will very likely not cover it.

[@peterb6250]

How does the lift cope with the slope on most garage floors?

[@daynashewan5296]

I installed the high rise garage door 😂 shout out font hill!

[@sirmikehm]

KNOWLEDGE

[@thereplacementfordisplacement]

You should have the cables adjusted, I could hear the locks activating at different times as it goes up. They should fire in unison and the cables stretch a little after initial setup and use. You can adjust yourself or have your installer drop in to handle it. Good luck.

[@ericfisher9191]

I'll second that. It looks like the rear cables are tight & the front cables are slack. That could account for the groaning sound.

[@gav240z]

Does the concrete need to be a minimum thickness for this to sit on?

[@MIAthe305]

You could probably install a little mirror on the wall in front of the lift so you can see how you’re lining up the car with the lift

[@gluuuuue]

How did you open your Lambo doors when it's in the lower spot in order to get in and out of the car?

[@ktmdays]

How many feet do u got under the Lamborghini floor to bottom of ramp

[@13klblazewing]

The footbal boot review business must be mroe profitable than i thought lol

[@ENO371]

@Car Problems --- how much for the Alfa sir?

[@sabraitis]

Where did you buy your lift?

[@brendanchess8954]

Where did you actaully purchase the lift through? Just outside toronto and interested in the future

[@jakubrucinski7020]

Same question from me? Where did you buy the lift?

[@PeterSchneemann]

Can you please tell me where to buy a car lift like yours? I am also located in Canada and my garage exactly the same height as yours.

[@Mr7O5]

I can’t wait to see a GT3RS in the garage

[@Chad_Aucoin]

so does the lift have ACC?

[@tonymorse7178]

Does it use 120v or 240v?

[@Evolve_Detailing]

What are the dimensions inside the garage?

[@franswa3327]

I love your vids Josiah, please respond. I tore my acl and I have used your videos for help and suggestions. I meant your other channel l, SR4U

[@xliu37]

Where you got this lift? I am in GTA, I want exact same lift

[@2f2f45]

Great video! The lift wouldn't work with scissor doors though.

[@jamarcusturner829]

That’s only if you park it on the bottom

[@paulramirez4715]

I know you're not a detailer or anything but it'd be cool to see like your routine when it comes to cleaning the cars, may be in the future? I noticed you have a pressure washer so seems like you care about your cars being some what clean

[@carproblems8547]

I've had quite a few people make that suggestion, so I'll definitely be doing that!

[@HarshdeepParhar]

Would you recommend a 2016 c63s or a 2016 hellcat for a first car!?(I was looking for one)

[@carproblems8547]

I can't say that I've ever driven any Hellcat variant, and I'm not as high on the C63s as lot of people are. Given the choice between the two, I'd probably go for the Merc, although I'd bu curious to trying a widebody Challenger Hellcat. My advice would be to go drive both of them to see what you like best, because they'll feel very different.

[@HarshdeepParhar]

Car Problems thank you so much!!!!

[@paulgenest4702]

Hi can you please post a link to the lift company with specs? Located in Montréal. Thanks!

[@michaeltang9831]

I'm looking to buy a used supercar, and im wondering how much mileage on a car will put you off? I know it differs from brand to brand, but just want to get a general idea. Maybe do a video on how you chose your used supercars?

[@carproblems8547]

I'm not overly put off by mileage to be honest. I guess it would really depend on the specific car though, and any issues that may be known/associated with the car doing X amount of miles. The big thing would be to do your own research in that situation, so you have an idea of what to expect.

[@ericworthington7299]

What supercar do you have in mind? I'd say a reasonable price (in my budget) supercar, for me is a Lamborghini Gallardo 🐃 or Dodge VIPER 🐍.

[@byeweek6021]

Nice

[@shivaiyer430]

Curious to know if your insurance cost went up or was impacted due to this setup of stacking cars?

[@teddyruxpin3811]

I doubt the insurance company knows

[@michaeljorge4938]

Love the setup just not a fan of the lift locking style. Also if you are having trouble lining up the cars to the ramps i would install a mirror on you back wall and set the angle so it can assist you with the lineup. just a suggestion

[@lambo25]

That's what i did. The mirror is an excellent second eye.

[@larsinteriors9348]

What kind of rims are those on the 4C . Thank you, if you respond

[@carproblems8547]

They're custom, by a company called Augment wheels. They also did the wheels on my AMG GTR that I talk about in this video if you're curious to learn more about them kzbin.info/www/bejne/gF6ykqOmmbaefdk

I wish for just a two car garage, someday when I move out of CA. 4yrs to go. I have a single car garage and my Ferrari 430 barely fits. I put a standup dressing mirror on the right side, so I don't hit the work bench pulling in. You could use that to not drive off the rails.

hey man just peeked on your video. I think its sick, the car!, if you don't mins answering . Can you tell me what do you for business so you can have this kind of cars? like damn I work so hard on my business and I can afford the lift but not the Lambo..

[@birit911]

Looks like your lift is narrow for the Huracan as the rear wheels are sticking out the sides. Have the same problem with my R8 on my Direct Lift 8s . Wish I’ ve gotten a wider one. It’s a pain to position sometimes.

[@carproblems8547]

If it's lined up perfectly, the wheels end up almost flush edge to edge. Like I said in the video, the Huracan is about the maximum width for a car to fit on this particular lift. as long as you have someone helping to guide you when putting it on the lift, it's not a big deal.
