If you want to save money in the long run and change the tires yourself, you have to do it at least twice a year: once for the summer tires, once for the winter tires – and a jack is essential for this. Even with minor repairs to the underbody or the exhaust, you won’t get very far without a jack. But what can a good jack cost?
Our partner AllesBeste* has tested numerous jacks between around 50 euros and 300 euros. The result: Even cheap models perform well, as you can see in the table below.
If you are looking for more background information on the test and on the individual jacks, you should take a look at our extensive buying guide. There you will also find general information and tips, such as where you can place the jack, because you are not allowed to jack the car anywhere. We also show there what types of jacks there are. A distinction is made between scissor jacks, trolley jacks, stamp jacks and air cushion jacks.
