Car ramp

A car ramp is a structure or device used to raise an automobile from the ground in order to access its undercarriage. Along with using a jack or jack stands, using a ramp is reportedly one of the easiest ways to elevate a car.[1] Car ramps also offer safety for mechanics by providing vehicle stability during car maintenance and repairs. Some ramp types can be built at home and hand-made with simple tools.[2][3]
