Car Jack (Help)

Any other methods for lifting the car to put onto jack stands besides having to buy some really expensive service jacks? I really can't afford one of those now and im still new at this so i don't know if id be spending that much money as of now.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

The car should have come with a jack in the trunk. Along with the spare tire and lug wrench.

What he said... If you look along the frame you see an area near the front and rear tire that has a thicker piece of metal, that is the jack point.

You could pick up a 1.5 ton floor jack from Walmart for 30 or 40 bucks. Some of them come with the jackstands, too!

I tend to break the Walmart jacks. Better off buying big *** old used floor jack from Kijiji or Craigslist. Super heavy duty and will lift way higher than the Walmart jack
