Autolifters - Still in Business?

[MMM]

After much reading and checking I decided to purchase an Autolifters Autopro 10,000, two post lift. I have since tried to contact them to place an order and everything seems to be shut down. The telephone lines have been disconnected and their web site Home Page is gone. However they do have a full page ad in the latest Hemmings, but list the now disconnected telephone numbers.
Anybody know what is going on? Are they out of business or now operating under another name?
Thanks,
Mike

I have the same problem. I too am ready to buy a lift from them (the 4-post lift) I tried to contact them...800 number not working...local numbers disconnected....web site home page deleted.
I called Backyard Buddy...talked with the sales people there. Their lift (same type of construction) is $ 3,570. When I asked about Autolifters, I was told that they had just gone out of business. They were trying to build lifts with American steel and American labor...but selling them at import prices....and couldn't stay in business.
Don't know if just a sales pitch or not.....

Martin,

Thanks for the reply. I suspected as much. Went ahead and ordered a Bend Pak two post lift last week. Would have really liked to have gotten the Autolifters item. Sorry to hear they went under. Another US manufacture bites the dust to cheap foreign labor. A very sad state of affairs.

All of the Autolifters pages work, except for the home page. Go to the "about us" page then click on Home, it will come up blank.
