4 Post Car Lift Maintenance: Preventing a Porsche 911 Storage NIGHTMARE!

Every year I hire my car lift installer, Rick, to come by the garage to perform 4 post car lift maintenance on the Tiant lift I have in my garage. The job costs $125 and is massively worth it.

Because this 4 post lift is so critical - and because it would literally ruin my life for a time if something bad were to happen to my Porsche 911s - I view it as a non-negotiable to have him come by to perform 4 post car lift maintenance.

This year, because I was thinking of you, the viewer, I asked Rick if he would walk us through what it takes to inspect and then perform 4 post car lift maintenance and he graciously agreed.

Take a few minutes to see Rick show us the steps that go into making sure a 4 post car lift is operating properly and safely. As a BONUS, Rick will also tell us the true differences between the popular brand Bend-Pak and off-brand Chinese car lifts (that are actually way more common than you'd think.
