Any Recommendations for Portable Car Jacks?

Finally found a project car, but also wanting to do light maintenance on my existing cars.

Seeing as I only have a driveway at the moment, was looking for recommendations for portable car jacks (110v) like QuickJack. So after I'm done, I could store away until next use.

I don't like the idea of using jack stands, so was curious what other options there were. That are quality but maybe a little cheaper.

 Thanks

To clarify, I really just need to change the oil in my cars, and while I could go to a shop, rather do myself. 

I'm also  trying to avoid using car jacks (grew up with large repair shop and in ground and 4 post lifts).

Also open to good shops in or around Charlotte, NC. Or anyone in the area that I could rent "shop time" from?

if you're just changing oil and stuff, I think some nice ramps would be sufficient and more convenient

+1 on ramps, I use mine all the time for car work. If you need more height, wheel cribs are another option:

Was looking into ramps yesterday. Started reading reviews, any recommendations? Prefer metal that are quality built.

 Thanks

In reply to Grecobeemer :

Not metal, but I've been really happy with my RaceRamps. Although I mostly use a QuickJack for a lot of maintenance work.

In reply to BoxheadTim :

I thought about Quick Jack but not enough work to justify the cost. Also driveway maintenance. Maybe if I had a garage I would look into them.

 Will look into race ramps though. Thanks

I've had both metal ones and Race ramps. I do not prefer the metal ones. 
 

Metal ramps seem to basically be 2 styles- bolted together or 1 piece stamped. The bolted together ones loosen at the connections, and the stamped ones have too little contact area at the ground. They are basically an edge of heavy sheet metal which can sink into the ground or asphalt. They can also flex more than you'd think, and can be a slippery surface.

The molded ones like Raceramps are lighter and stronger and have a better contact patch with the ground. 

I also don't care for metal ramps, race ramps are nice but expensive. I've got the cheap harbor freigh plastic ones and they're fine

I've been using Rhino Ramps for the last 15 years or so and they've worked really well for me. Race Ramps are really nice, but are much more expensive. I use two sets of ramp, one that I drive up on, and then I jack up the opposite end up and slide the ramps underneath the rear wheels.

Another vote for Rhino Ramps. I have a Quick Jack and still use the Rhinos sometimes. 

Race Ramps are expensive but really good. My local Tesla roving mechanic uses them. 

But I'd spend the money on a QuickJack. Less sketchy to drive up on, much more versatile. I'm not even sure if I have a set of ramps anymore. I have used the QJ a lot.
