Our specialty is automotive lifts such as 2 post lifts, 4 post lifts, mid rise lifts, short rise lifts, full rise lifts, in ground lifts, scissors lifts, mobile column lifts, parking solution lifts, and alignment lifts.

 

Leadership, Josiah Ragsdale

Automotive Lift Services was officially made a business in early 2019. It really started about 3 years prior to that though when my Father Kent Ragsdale began selling car lifts in addition to Hunter Engineering equipment. When he would sell a lift in the beginning whoever bought it would generally ask if he could install it as well, that’s where I came in being 18 at the time I was the perfect candidate to help install lifts with him. Over time it morphed into me installing lifts and him selling more lifts so I would recruit a buddy of mine to go with and help install them and keep track of his hours and pay than my father would pay us accordingly. Eventually it got to the point where I was making more money installing/servicing lifts than I was at my full time job in a custom car shop. Seeing the need in the marketplace, I quit and went full time installing and servicing lifts and opened Automotive Lift Services (officially on paper).

Why 

We exist to provide fast, high quality, safe service to the automotive industry and to bring help to those in need in other countries as well as in our own neighborhood through the Fight for the Forgotten organization. We do this by donating 10% of our profits to Justin Wrens organization Fight for the Forgotten. They really make a big difference in our own communities by fighting bullying and in countries in Africa like the Democratic Republic of the Congo by freeing people from slavery and drilling wells to save people from water born diseases.
