i have had no problems, but i have only used it for my novas and my mates cars. I only use it to jack the car up and put stands underneath

Connor

Had the Arcan Costco one for almost a year now and it's spot on. Very light, extremely low entry and has taken the abuse well. Utter bargain for the price compared to all the others you've linked to so far
