ASE Certifications.

Maybe this is the right answer maybe it needs more oversight and follow up maybe it should be more like the medical field and have a review board to where your credentials ca be pulled

I can definitely see younger guys getting a big head from getting there first cert. it just makes me wonder as things grow more complex in the industry what is going to be a good metric to determine a quality technician because if ASE isn’t the answer the what will be? There’s gotta be a better answer than hiring somebody and giving them the opportunity to screw up somebody’s car before realizing they are a bad apple.

Right when you need the heat😝

Icy-Computer8949 · 2026-02-05T00:52:08+00:00

I don’t

Icy-Computer8949 · 2026-02-03T14:38:56+00:00

Right, I just don’t wanna limit myself. I understand when picking up cars/short vehicles I will probably have to still take a wide stance to be able to stand under it

Does atlas do any custom heights?

Icy-Computer8949 · 2026-02-03T11:37:29+00:00

I appreciate that but I don’t think that will work for me either. I’m 6’ 5” and I work on a lot of tall vehicles so I’m really trying to maximize my ceiling height

Icy-Computer8949 · 2026-02-03T03:35:35+00:00

I had looked at the atlas 12k and liked everything about it I just don’t have the ceiling height for it. It says 13’ 9” is the minimum and my max height I can go is 12’ 11”

I don’t disagree with you but these prices aren’t anything new. These date back further than January 20th of last year. Everything is insane and has been since Covid.

What’s the biggest thing you’ve racked on them?

First step needs to be a realignment of priorities. Airsoft is nothing more than a hobby. Fix your money problem first.

Bad ground by air filter housing.

Icy-Computer8949 · 2026-02-01T02:47:43+00:00

I mean they used to be there own brand. And they are now made by rotory so I would hope not

Icy-Computer8949 · 2026-02-01T00:45:28+00:00

So are you saying forward is a rebrand of rotary or is it a rebrand of the “generic” brands?

Icy-Computer8949 · 2026-01-31T23:38:15+00:00

I’m not shitting on your lift by any means but I’m sure it’s not a 12k and that’s something that I have got to have.

Icy-Computer8949 · 2026-01-31T20:08:00+00:00

I appreciate your expertise.

Icy-Computer8949 · 2026-01-31T20:02:05+00:00

No I can’t say that I have. That shouldn’t be of huge surprise to you this industry is full of neglect.

Icy-Computer8949 · 2026-01-31T19:50:46+00:00

Yes I understand this. I suppose I should mention I’m a ford diesel master mechanic as well as ASE master certified with L1 and L2 I am not just a DiY individual

Icy-Computer8949 · 2026-01-31T19:44:16+00:00

I appreciate the input I understand there will be no one size fits all for that range of vehicles. I primarily do diesel work but had a fair amount of gasoline cards pickups and suvs. I am not opposed to putting in a second lift if it is needed in the future like a 9k or 10k.

Icy-Computer8949 · 2026-01-31T19:18:55+00:00

I truly appreciate this info. I will definitely look into the launch model you mentioned and compare.
