For instance, I'm going to be doing some work on my truck and while all of it can be done on the ground, having the truck lifted in the air is going to be much easier to get done and it's going to save me so much money doing it myself.
I need to replace the
passenger side lower ball joint
Passenger side upper control arm
Front brake pads and rotors
Front struts and springs
All parts cost just under $500.00 from Rock Auto's Dailey Driver parts and take me about maybe 3 to 4 hours if I take breaks and drink a lot of pop having to use the bathroom a lot.
Now, if I were to get this work done at a garage, they would keep my truck for a couple of days and charge my close to $3,000.00...just guessing here since I do all my own auto repair and maintenance.
It is really nice having a car lift.
It really is my Mechanic has 2 car lifts.. Just did all my Brakes rotors and Calipers... (hes having me do it pretty much so I get really cheap labor and get to learn how to do it...)
Next up both my Lower control arms need replaced. And my other car needs an Alternator and a belt
