Tell me about it. I’ll be deleting this as the purpose of the thread went way off tangent…

I’m not complaining I’m pointing out a rip off price. I’m more than happy to pay someone $10K but not for a very cheap questionable lift.

Exactly. I don’t think this feeling was expressed or understood based on some of the responses. Like I am getting quotes from multiple places. I just posted the outrageous one for shits and giggles. Like I’m paying someone to do the job no matter what.

Yeah, my thoughts. I’m genuinely shocked by some of the replies and how invested people are in their opinions.

I never heard of Tuxedo. He suggested it as a “quality” lift and I took his word for it. After a quick research, and other vendors I knew my decision. It’s what they had and what they wanted to sell.

This wasn’t the case with other vendors I called today. I just posted this specific one because it was outrageous compared to others.

This wasn’t a small shop. This was someone trying to make the payment on his Escalade he showed up driving…

There are things that I want to do, then I do it. If I don’t want to do it, I pay someone else. This is one of the later situations.

I know I could do it. I’d rather have someone professional install this.

I get that. But this was one of those “garage improvement” places , like a one stop shop. They apparently have high margins and try and clearly take advantage of people. After getting other quotes I’ve confirmed this.

The whole point for this lift is to do some more DIY and restore my father’s old C10. Pray that my son has some interest and teach him a few things. I just don’t feel comfortable putting up the lift nor have people near by to as about helping out. I’m fine paying $10k and it is what I really...

The hard part would be finding the guys haha. I live a pretty secluded life and don’t even have one friend I’d be comfortable asking to come help.

That’s already there. That is the current floor.

I’m well aware of cost of living and where I live. It’s just the fact that this is a $2,400 lift. Like that’s crazy money for install. I just got multiple quotes for different higher quality brands for less.
