View Full Version : How do you lads work on cars on a hill?
Both the road and the drive are rubbish!
I was thinkin of getting some small ramps and driving on them to level the car out but I' m still worried about the angle that both the ramps and the car would be on
Any tips?

I work on cars on my mum and dads drive which is a steep slope all the time. I just chock the rear wheels with bricks then jack the cars under the front subframe and have never had any problems. If I need to work on the rear I reverse the car down.

The drive at home is steep, I use ramps and it gets the car pretty level - great for emptying oil out!
I reverse up the drive, put the ramps in front, then drive down onto them. Be careful of your bumper though. I take mine off now a days as mines lowered.
Do you not worry the ramps are gonna roll down the drive though with the car attached to them? :shock:
like matt says, chock the wheels ur not workin on and use a decent hydraulic jack, not the dodgy renault effort. job done!
