Yes. Autolift & Equipment Service is based in Los Alamitos and installs vehicle lifts throughout Southern California, including Orange County, Los Angeles County, Riverside County, San Bernardino County, San Diego County and Ventura County. We have been doing this work since 1939.

How often does a car lift need to be inspected?

ANSI standards require every vehicle lift in the United States to be inspected at least once a year by a qualified lift inspector. High volume shops often inspect twice a year. Autolift has ALI Certified Lift Inspectors on staff who can inspect any lift, regardless of manufacturer, model or age.

We install and service lifts from every manufacturer, including brands we do not distribute.

Can you design a shop, not just install the equipment?

Yes. Autolift has in-house CAD capability and takes projects from initial planning through bay layouts, building permits, full color elevations and 3D renderings, then installs the equipment and inspects it annually afterward.
