Hey all,
I just bought my first house. It has a decent driveway and I'd like to keep it that way. I have not had to jack my cars up yet, so I'm wondering how I can avoid the divots in the pavement from the jack wheels and the square imprints from using jackstands. I did this at my mothers house and got a few nicks in her driveway. Should I use some form of wood? Is there a piece that I can buy to put under the jack/jackstands? Any advice is appreciated as brake work and oil changes are coming soon!

Go to a metal shop and have them cut ya some 12x12x3/16 sheetmetal and you will never have another issue and its alot safer

I would just use some pieces of 3/4" plywood that shold work just fine.

Yep 3/4" plywood will work but it sucks to have to do that every time. And the jack itself may want to sink in.......concrete is much nicer....so glad the new driveway at my place is done.

hmm, so far on my new shop slab i havent made any marks on the concrete. Maybe concrete weakens as it ages.

I'm pretty sure it's black top that's being discussed

Plywood is a pretty good idea. You could use some heavy duty zip ties or something to keep the plywood connected to the jack stands for convenience.
