    And don’t cheap out on safety devices. Don’t buy Walmart jackstands (for example) when you can purchase better quality ones from a more reputable vendor. Your life isn’t worth $20.

      A neighbor of mine was working under his car (on a sloped driveway to be fair) and it rolled off the stands and fell on him. Killed instantly as his head was crushed.

      Don’t forget to get real chocks and not just use miscellaneous junk from the garage.
