And for those that think my garage is just for looks...
I have been working on changeing the water pump on the SS today, As you can see there is parts everywhere and coolant all over the floor..... It is fun to fix your own stuff but it is a lot of work! Anyhow, this is a pic of the operating room...

Yeah, but admit it...it's fun to work on your own car. Nice set of ramps, I got that same set. Rhino ramps rule.

You are a braver and more mechanically incline person than me. 
That's a job for my mechanic. I'm afraid of all the parts left over when I finish. OK for the lawn mover but not my cars. I am sure that is not a problem for you. Good luck (skill) on the work. You can buy a lot of Zaino with the hundred or so dollars your saving by doing this yourself.

sure..... but ya gotta admit - having a "sterile" operating room to work out of sure is nice!  
and besides, the floor and/or walls will clean easy enough.  |

Rhino ramps don't skid? How much do they usually run?
One nice thing about longitudinal RWD cars is the pump is (usually) easier to change. I dread the day I'll have to change mine...

Nope, no skidding. I use them for oil changes mainly. They are made of a very strong plastic type material that will hold up to 12,000 pounds. They also accept low clearance vehicles if that is a concern. I got mine at AutoZone for $29.99.
Very nice ramps for the DIY'er and the price is right too.

For real!! You should see my hubby's shop when he's working on our cars -- it definitely would not qualify as an operating room!! I'm often afraid to go in there!!
Once again -- amazing garage RedCar Guy! |

You go guy!
I bought my Rhino ramps at Walmart at about the same price. They work well on my PT Cruiser, Lincoln, Camry and Saturn but when I tried them with my daughter's Forerunner they did not work. The truck kept pushing the ramps back rather than climbing the ramp. Maybe a sand bag or something would have held the ramps in place.

That's a good idea. I should have taken some shots of the S4 while it was "exposed under the wrench" this weekend. The car looked like it was on life support. I had three drop cords hanging down. Two lights, one extension cord and a PC hooked up to the internet with a FAQ up on the installation of the new Xenon headlights I was installing.

Here's a shot I took after surgery.

4DSC: Summit Tools in Burnaby has the Rhino ramps, so does Alder Auto in Port Kells.
