Can anyone tell me where to get those wheelies to put under each tire so one person can easily move a car around in to tight spaces?  I need some jacks too that would fit a 911 side slot. Might need a bar that just sticks out and rests on the jacks perhaps.

I want to roll the car out easily to wash it first then raise it on the jacks so I can take the wheels off and get them cleaned and refinished.  I might sell them and get fuchs or rufs but they still need to be cleaned up for sure.

My brother has been very busy and he was supposed to help me. So I'm just going to start on my own.

Princess auto has car dollies.     I dunno if you need special jacks for a Porsche but I have an aluminum low profile jack also from Princess Auto which has been good and well used by the club.

Dunno the prices. Their website has the info probably. Princessauto.com.

There is one in Coquitlam near IKEA and one in Langley on the bypass and 200th.

Princess auto tends to have decent stuff for cheap.  They also have very crappy stuff for VERY cheap.  Watch what you buy.

Oh and BTW... FUCHS for the win!

Starting today Princess Auto has 2000lb Vehicle Dollies for sale. I believe it is a pair for $60. Not sure about the quality, but they usually have them on display if you go to the store.

Thanks. Last week I checked these out in the flyer and it was $79 but for 14" wheels only. Can't recall if it was Princess Auto or KMS Tools.  I'll give them a call since the website doesn't tell me what the max wheel size fits in these.

My brother just checked the link I sent him and said it was crap for what I need. Those are good for temporary moving of a car but not to let sit on for awhile.

I'll google this GoJak you speak of and check them out. Thanks.

Please don't forget to block the dolly wheels while you're working on the vehicle or storing it Cheesy If you buy ones that have locks, even better.

As a mechanic, it always makes me cringe when I see people jack vehicles & not block the wheels. (doesn't matter if you use parking break)
