Scissors Lift
Guys, I needed a way to get my car up in the air to work on exhaust, tires, brakes, all the stuff that's tough to get to with the car on the ground; I was also tired of the inconvenience of taking the car to a local shop when I needed something under the car serviced. Enter Greg Smith Equipment and the Atlas LR-O6P Scissors Lift:

The result:
Not cheap at $1100, but it is a nice unit, runs on 110V, and is well made. I never thought I could afford a lift for my shop until I ran across this. Thought it would be good to share.

Is there any mechanism to ensure that the car is level?

If you mean "stay level", yeah, they're called jack stands ; )
Seriously, it comes with four solid rubber blocks that go between the lift points and the stand. I used the pinch welds in front of the rear wheel wells and under the front door sills. The car is well balanced there, but I wouldn't start any serious pushing or pulling much less crawl under it until I had jack stands under the corners of the lift.
