I just went with the QuickJack instead. So far I'm very happy with it. Made oil change on my 2007 Rabbit wicked easy. I've lifted the R but not done any work on it. You will be surprised at the difference having the rear up makes when accessing the front! The hoses and pump are a bit fussy but certainly no more than working two jacks and jack stands to get the car up high enough to work on and stable. I'm not in love with their blocks since the R is so front heavy they get pretty squished but I'm working on some solid lumber that will fill the entire lift points. Storing the lifts isn't too bad, storing the pump and hoses sort of sucks... If you want to get crazy simple add a vacuum oil evacuation system to your tool kit.
Nice - once you finish the wood blocks, can you post the dimensions of the block and the grove?I just went with the QuickJack instead. So far I'm very happy with it.

I got my drill from HF for $60 with combining all of their coupons. BTW, i never got mine at that height, awesome! As the pics showing, there is a lot of clearance from all 4 sides, you can roll in and out easily. I love this lift and I just added grease as my 1st annual maintenance, easy peasy too.

How quick and you adjust the width for different cars?
One of the crossbeams has a drive linkage.
soon to be my transmission fluid whenever i stop getting lazy and buy some fluids!That said, in the few months I’ve had the EZ Car Lift it’s been used for:
Oil and transmission fluid changes. (All cars)
Inspections
Replacing bent OEM front rims x2
Intercooler install i.e front bumper removal
Tire rotation (wife’s car)
Good write up!! I am also one of the proud owners of this great product. I'd like to add the followings:
1) The lift can actually lift straight up vertically, unlike the hydraulic ones, so it saves some space and is a perfect use inside a home garage
2) The lift offer wide openings on the sides too, therefore provide great access from all 4 sides
3) The lift has supporting wheels as accessories, which allows moving the lifted car around easily
4) Great support by the owner himself - a super awesome guy!!
