How we repair your Car Lift
A car lift is a two-post, four-post or scissor lift that raises a vehicle with a hydraulic pump and cylinders so it can be stored or serviced from underneath. A car lift uses a drive motor or hydraulic pump, a drive system of chains, belts, screws or cables, limit switches, safety sensors and a control board. A technician checks power and controls, safety devices, and the condition and alignment of the drive system.

Common Car Lift problems we fix
What usually causes each symptom, and what our technician checks to confirm it.
Lift will not raise
- Likely causes
- Low hydraulic fluid, a failed pump motor or start capacitor, a stuck lowering valve, or a tripped breaker.
- What our technician checks
- The technician checks fluid level and motor voltage, tests the pump output and inspects the release valve.
Hydraulic fluid leaking
- Likely causes
- A loose fitting, a damaged hose or worn cylinder rod seals.
- What our technician checks
- Fittings and hoses are inspected under pressure and cylinder seals are checked for seepage.
Posts or runways lift unevenly
- Likely causes
- Stretched equalizer cables, cables out of adjustment, or air in the hydraulic cylinders.
- What our technician checks
- Cable tension is set, the cylinders are bled and the lift is checked for level across its travel.
Safety locks not engaging or releasing
- Likely causes
- A broken lock spring, a stretched or broken release cable, or a solenoid lock that has failed.
- What our technician checks
- Each lock is inspected for proper engagement at every position and the release mechanism is tested.
Lift drifts down under load
- Likely causes
- A leaking check valve, worn cylinder seals, or a lowering valve that does not fully seat.
- What our technician checks
- The lift is held under load and watched for drift while valves and cylinders are checked for internal leaks.
Grinding, squealing or jerky movement
- Likely causes
- Dry slide blocks, worn cable sheaves, or debris in the post tracks.
- What our technician checks
- Slide blocks, sheaves and pulleys are inspected for wear and lubrication.
Quick checks you can do safely
- Check the hydraulic fluid level with the lift fully lowered.
- Confirm the breaker and power to the pump are on.
- Look for oil drips under the posts and around the power unit.
- Make sure nothing is blocking the arms or runways.
- Listen for the locks clicking at each position as the lift rises.
Safety first: Never work under a vehicle unless the mechanical locks are engaged, and stop using the lift if a cable, lock or anchor looks damaged.
