Automotive Facility Service inspects car lifts for repair shops, dealerships, collision centers and fleets across Long Island, New York City and Westchester. The ANSI/ALI ALOIM standard calls for vehicle lifts to be inspected at least once a year by a qualified inspector, and many insurers and landlords ask for proof. We inspect every bay in one visit and fix what we find.
What we check
- Arms, arm restraints, pads and adapters
- Safety locks and lock releases on every post
- Cables, chains, sheaves and pulleys for wear and fraying
- Hydraulic cylinders, hoses, fittings and fluid for leaks
- Anchor bolts and the concrete around each column
- Equalizer cables, overhead shutoff bar and controls
- Warning labels, operating instructions and capacity markings
What you get
- A written report for each lift, with what passed and what needs attention
- A clear quote for any repairs, with parts we can often bring from our Bohemia warehouse
- A reminder when next year's inspection is due
All major brands
We inspect two-post, four-post, scissor, alignment and in-ground lifts from BendPak, Amgo, Tuxedo, OMER, Challenger, Rotary and other manufacturers, including lifts we did not install.
Signs you shouldn't wait for the annual check
- The lift rises slowly or unevenly
- Locks don't catch, or catch on one side only
- Oil under the power unit or cylinders
- Frayed or kinked cables
- Cracks in the concrete near the columns
If you see any of these, stop using the lift and book a repair.
Areas we serve
Suffolk, Nassau, Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Staten Island and Westchester.
Frequently asked questions
How often should a car lift be inspected?
The ANSI/ALI ALOIM standard calls for every vehicle lift to be inspected at least once a year by a qualified lift inspector. Many insurers and landlords ask for proof of a current inspection.
What does a lift inspection cover?
We check the arms and arm restraints, locks and safety latches, cables and pulleys, hydraulic cylinders, hoses and fittings, anchor bolts, controls, and the warning labels, then give you a written report for each lift.
What happens if a lift fails inspection?
We tell you exactly what failed and whether the lift is safe to keep using. If it is not, we tag it out of service and quote the repair so you can get the bay back to work quickly.
Can you inspect all of our lifts in one visit?
Yes. We inspect every bay in the same visit, including lifts we did not sell or install.
Do you inspect lifts in New York City?
Yes. We inspect lifts across all five boroughs, Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester. See our service areas.
