I helped a friend set up his 4 post lift, well two of them... They both came off an ESTES truck and we had one up and running by 12am ( started at like noon... the second one went up faster lol and we found the directions for that one)
It also allows them to leave the customer in their car....no waiting area.

Personally I'd rather have a lift, a pit doesn't work for everything, if you need to do suspension work then you'd still have to set it on jacks.
