+I too also welded up my own set of car ramps years ago but since I became a company car user, I had no need of them so I sold them on, now I've retired, the cars have become so complicated that almost all of the repairs require specialist equipment especially on my car which computers for everything, I leave the repairs and servicing to the dealers. Fortunately I don't do that many miles now and the car is surprisingly cheap to repair, or at least it has been so far as the only thing it needed apart normal services has the cambelt and waterpump change which has to be done every 4 years to avoid the possibility of a massive engine failure and write off, so not been a problem.
