Well, I have a 7 000 lbs scissor lift.

And have it for 2 years. I still do not trust that thing and it’s bolted to the slab. But it gives you excellent access to entire car center line and everything up to the lift platforms. So transmission and engine jobs are very accessible.
Thing wobbles side to side very easy.
What Karl says is awright except that you can not move those lifts to any point you want to. They are still mounted on slab anchors. After use – dismounted and rolled away.
There is a much better lift – I had my sights on it for quite a while – that can be rolled anywhere you want to. I didn’t buy it as it was too tall for my garage.
