There were a few startups that attempted such a thing, but insane insurance rates killed all of them that I'm aware of. To the best of my knowledge, nothing like that exists around here.

That said; do you really need the lift? I do 90%+ of the work on my cars, and a simple floor jack and 4 jack stand have never let me down. I even fully rebuilt the entire front suspension/drivetrain on my Silverado early in pandemic without a lift. What are you working on?

Yeah, despite my username, it's pretty rare you need a lift, it's just more convenient to have one. But, if OP has no good place to work on his car or store a floor jack and jack stands, just paying to go use a lift might be the best solution. But unfortunately I don't know of any such place around here either.

I just ordered a Bendpak a few weeks ago, but it won't be here for another six weeks, otherwise I'd offer to let OP use mine :)
