For those do-it-yourself advocates out there, good for you! Trying to work on your car takes bravery. An awesome device that makes tinkering on your own vehicle a much simpler task is the automotive lift. Although it may not seeming daunting, the automotive lift comes with a certain amount of safety hazards that you need to be aware of.
First of all, make sure you read the directions and know how to actually properly work the device. This is heavy machinery that means business! Knowing how to properly work the equipment will reduce the risk of serious or fatal injuries.
Never work the lift with people inside of the vehicle, or if the weight of the vehicle is larger than the maximum amount of weight the lift can handle.
Be vigilant and inspect the lift before you use it make sure that nothing is broken or loose.
Good luck!!

Also a fun do it yourself thing to do in your car is fixing the seats with one of those car upholstery repair kits. I love doing things myself because it doesn't cost for labor and you feel great when you get it right.
