DISCLOSURE:
We are amateurs and this video is for entertainment purposes only. We do not warrant that anything we do is safe or will work for others. Cars are heavy and can cause serious injury or death. Please don’t take any risks unless you have a professional with you or advising you.

Also, you should never use a car’s supplied jack to jack up your car for car repairs. It just isn’t safe, especially on smooth service like a garage floor. You should assume that these jacks will slide on the floor and that the car will fall. So why even try? It just isn’t worth it.

We also have no direct sponsors paying us to pitch their products for this video, which means that we bought all tools, supplies, and video equipment ourselves. However, some companies (like Amazon) want more business and are willing to share a small amount of their profit with us—at no extra cost to you—if you click on our links leading to the products we used in this video. We use these links since we chose the products entirely based on our desires and not because a company or store directed us to.
