Why We Waited 6 Years to Sell Lifts Online

Most online lift sellers have been selling lifts for years without ever installing one. We did it the other way around.

For six years, AutoLift Services has installed, repaired, inspected, and maintained lifts in shops across Iowa and into Florida and Minnesota. We’ve completed thousands of inspections. We’ve replaced every part on every brand on the market. We’ve been called in to fix lifts that other companies sold and walked away from.

That experience taught us which lifts last 20 to 30 years and which ones generate warranty calls within the first two. It taught us which manufacturers actually back their products and which ones disappear after the sale. It taught us which models are designed for real shop conditions and which ones look great in catalogs but fail under daily use.

We waited until we knew, with confidence, which lifts were worth selling.

What that means for you

Every lift in our catalog is one we’d install for a friend. Every one we’ve refused to sell — even ones we’re authorized to sell — is a model we’ve seen fail too many times.

You’re not getting our entire dealer catalog. You’re getting the curated short list. The ones we’d stand behind.

Who we are

AutoLift Services is based in Ames, Iowa. We service the major automotive dealerships in Iowa, plus operations in Florida and Minnesota. We hold ALI (Automotive Lift Institute) certification. Our crew has installed every lift type we sell — 2-post, 4-post, mobile column, scissor, inground, home storage, and more.

We’re available at 800-674-9302 and info@autoliftserv.com. If you’re unsure about which lift fits your bay, call us. We’ve probably installed it before.

Our promise

• Curated, not catalog. We sell what we’d use.
• Fit Check on every order. We confirm the lift fits your bay before we ship.
• Install coordination available. We can install it ourselves or coordinate a vetted regional installer.
• Real support after the sale. The same techs who service lifts for Iowa’s biggest dealers answer your calls.

If you want the cheapest lift on the market, you’re in the wrong place. If you want a lift that lasts and a partner who knows the difference, you’re home.
