I was quoted $270 locally and agree with others that you should DIY.
Okay..you guys have convinced me to take it on. Will two regular jacks suffice?

Stands all the way up are like 1.5ft. should be good. more the better, but better to be safer. I wouldn't trust 3000lbs on a piece of wood under a jack standGet it as high off the ground without killing yourself. You dont need 2 jacks, you need 2 jack stands. If you get a 2-3 ton jack stand, you will post likely need to put wood under it to get enough clearance. The more clearance the better. Like I said you are going to want 1.5-2 ft.

Ya i usually put other stuff there too, i.e tire if its off lolI usually use a full set of 3-Ton stands to get it all up. Personally I just like having the car be up because I trust the stands when they're used like they're supposed to. I put my 2 jacks on both sides "just in case" but I've never had an issue with them
