Does anyone have a set of ramps that they would be willing to sell? I’ve kept an eye on craigslist, but so far I haven’t seen anything that will work. I just want to get the ramps to do oil/fluid changes on my Mazda3 and Honda Element. I have been having some trouble finding a cheap set because most of them will not work with the Mazda due to clearance issues. Let me know if you have any you’d be willing to sell.
my brother made me a set of out wood for same reason. most cheap car ramps are too steep. these are about 6 or 8 feet long with a long taper. just an idea, didn’t cost too much and have been very handy for quick oil changs outside the shop.
Yeah. This seems to be the easiest, cheapest, and most popular way to make ramps for cars with ground clearance issues.

I made them a different way, so they are taller. But most people do it the way described in that link.
Thanks guys, that is a great idea. A lot cheaper and probably stronger than getting Rhino ramps or something for $50.

I have the plastic Rhino ramps but they slide too easy. You can’t seem to find the metal ones anymore unfortunately.
