Bought a set of these for doing the oilchanges on the family cars over the weekend. They work great on cars with lower ground clearance, and are easy to set up and store. Much simpler than having to get the car up on jacks or blocks. RWD cars may have a bit more trouble getting up these if they're used on surfaces with lower traction, but FWD (and 4WD/AWD) cars will get up them just fine.

I have a 07 Mustang GT and when I try to drive up the ramp all it does is push them after I get about half way up. the rubber feet are useless they don't do anything but get torn off. The only way I can get up these things are if someone holds them from sliding or I but them up against something. Then getting off them is equally a challenge as once again they get dragged around instead of staying still. They do however work great for my 93 Eclipse which is front wheel drive. No problems getting up on them or off them so they are not totally useless.

Just to let you know that I purchased a set of Blitz Rhino
car lifts though Amazon.com. I just bought a brand new 2008 Honda civic
EX and my old steel ramps would not work to change the oil and filter.
So I did some research and found your product. I ordered a set and they
work perfect!

No one has anything like this in our town. What a shame as they are
perfect for the low profile cars.

I like to change my own oil and filters and you have the perfect product
for that. Word will get around for sure on these ramps. Keep up the
good work...

I am 72 years old, retired Chief Engineer and just like to do that kinda
of work...

Great product and I highly recommend it and will do so to the Honda
Dealer also...

Tried to get a Ford Ranger pickup truck up on these ramps but the damn ramps kept slipping forward and the rubber grips kept coming off as a result of the slipping (this was inside a standard garage floor, not a ice ring or where it would be considered more slipperier than normal (just bare concerete flooring). Could it be because the pickup truck is rear wheel drive? Next I tried to get my front wheel drive Prius onto the ramp, the ramp didn't slip like my truck but if I slowed down as the Prius' wheels got to the first level part of the ramps, the ramps would shoot backwards causing my Prius to slam back down to the ground. Worst was the ramps where now wedged under the Prius (did this for about 5 times and the last time I really felt like keeping the ramps wedged under the car and driving on the freeway to destroy the ramps and forget the mistake of a purchase I made!). I finally was able to get the Prius on the ramp by not slowing down but stopping in time before my Prius' front wheels went over the lip, which by the way was cracked in multiple places as a result of being shot like a cannon under the car. How can a company sell junk like this? I really think all the people that gave these ramps a positive review work for Blitz or are paid by them to give a good review because there was no way these ramps would work at all! I bought these ramps based on the reviews and this is the first time I felt Amazon let me down (do they even verify if people actually bought these ramps because I can't see how anyone would give this ramp anything over 1 star!).

Sticking to metal ramps, not cheap overpriced chuck of plastic!

Having done my own oil changes on multiple occasions with different ramps, tools and conditions, I wasn't expecting the horrid outcome I had with the Blitz Rhino Ramp 8000. VERY FIRST time pulling the car up, both ramps flip out and suffer horrendous cracks now creating two absolutely useless piles of crap. No longer are they good for even holding up the lightest of cars seeing how their structural integrity is gone. What pisses me off even more is that with purchasing this from Amazon, I can no longer return these two ramps that were obviously molded improperly to begin with. Maybe others work as intended, but as far as I'm concerned these are some of the worst ones you can purchase. They're cheap for a reason and from now on, I'll ONLY use metal ramps and I recommend you do as well.

These things are not at all safe. They may work out on dirt, but if you try to use them on a concrete floor, raising the front of a rear wheel drive vehicle (or the rear of a front drive), they shoot out from under the wheels and become lethal projectiles. One of them actually put a huge dent in the front of my Snap-On roll around and it would have surely shattered the ankle of anyone it had hit. I have a set of these plastic POS's and won't even give them away for fear of them injuring someone. Go for a good set of welded angle iron ramps and stay FAR, FAR away from these killers.

I purchased these ramps to perform service on my cars. Figuring that despite all the negative reviews I could make these work! No such luck. These ramps are worse than useless, they are dangerous! They ended up sliding around on the garage floor, and when I got one wheel up onto one of them it ended with an ominous looking bulge on its sides. They are sitting on the side of the house waiting for trash day to go where they belong!

On the first use one of the ramps slid and broke. It was a small car and these things are suppose to be good for 8000 lbs? Toyota Scion Xa 2005. The problem with these is they are plastic and light weight. I followed the directions exactly. You would be much better off with metal steel ramps that have some weight to them at any price. These might work in level hard packed gravel... but on a smooth level dry clean garage floor they slide too easy and are not safe.

I own a Ford Crown Victoria, which is RWD. When I first tried to drive up these ramps, they slid (BTW, I did not ride the brakes during this attempt). To keep them from sliding, I placed them against the curb. The second time I drove up the ramps, the plastic started to buckle. At the point where the ramps met the curb, the plastic bowed outwards. These ramps may have temporarily held the weight of my car, but I don't believe they would last for long. When they finally fail under pressure, someone is going to get seriously hurt. From now on, I will only use steel vehicle ramps. Plastic is not a very good load-bearing material.

I have a regular not too heavy honda accord. When trying to carefully drive up these ramps, they simply get pushed forward. I tried putting my foot on the break while accelerating, but still no luck. They seem to be too light to actually create friction between the floor and the ramps.
The so called rubber feet dont work, they get simply pressed or torn after a just a couple of uses. The surface on these ramps is almost completely smooth, no traction whatsoever.

You are better off buying the original old fashioned metal ramps. They never fail and are stronger and heavier. I found a couple of the metal ramps on craigs for a fraction of the cost, and in perfect condition.

DO NOT BUY THESE!
