    open garage/help erect a 4 post lift in Mebane, NC

    You'll love your new lift! I bought the Direct Pro-Park 8 Plus. Plenty long enough and strong enough for my 17 1/2' long Chevys. (check out the albums in my profile) I really don't know how I ever got along without it. How great it is not rolling on the floor on a creeper and getting the wheels...

    I have a Direct Pro Park 8 Plus lift. (see pics in profile) The 110v is fine. It lifts my car in about 55 seconds. You are considering spending money you don't need to. Besides, if you do this before your warranty runs out and you have a problem, your warranty will be VOID. My brother has an...

    Problems with remote control for garage door opener

    Make sure there is a reset button on the right side of the unit where the track is going towards the door. If so, you can hold the button in at the unit and at the same time hold the button in on the remote for 3-5 seconds to reset. If not equipped, or does not work, time to replace. Just seen a...

    What brand lift do you have?

    I have a Pro Park 8 Plus by Direct Lift which is owned by The Dover Corp, that makes Rotary Lifts. I researched many lifts and for the money and perks including certifications, I felt this was a good buy. I just couldn't see myself paying close to or shelling out 3 grand. Shipping was $154.00...

    Auto Parts stores, who and why

    I used to go to NAPA. I quit going there. If the part is not in stock, they charge a delivery fee, even though the truck is still delivering to their store. I don't need the extra expense. I had seven 1960 Chevy's, $5.00-$8.00 delivery fee is uncalled for. My money spends at Car Quest, Advance...

    Knock me off the lifts fence

    I had thought about a 2 post lift. Due to an auto accident, I have permanent neck damage. It is almost impossible to get off the floor and would be a real effort to set the arms. I bought a Direct Lift Pro Park Plus 8 and couldn't be happier. It comes with some accessories and I got it shipped...

    Sam's Club Flooring

    I happened to be at Sam's Club and saw it on display. I checked their website and it is listed. When you bring up the site, just type in "vinyl flooring" in the search box, it should come right up. Be sure and read the comments under the item. Tim

    New RaceDeck Commercial

    I admit, the floors look great. I had no idea they were so expensive. I guess I'm behind the times. Over $2.800.00 is way past my budget. Nice people to talk with.

    How do you guys feel about windows in a detached garage?

    When I had my garage built, I had one 36" window installed 8 foot from my service entrance door. Glass slides from right to left. I was going to put my exhaust fan in front of it to pull out paint fumes. The window and door are on the same wall towards my patio. I have a 5' chain link fence...
