Ever had an impact wrench sputter halfway through a job? 🔧

Usually the problem isn’t the tool. It’s an air system that was never sized for how your shop actually runs. Horsepower is mostly marketing. CFM is what runs your tools.

We put together a straightforward guide to sizing your compressor, picking the right tank, and laying out piping that keeps pressure steady:

A big shoutout to our tech Adam! 🙌

Daniel, a 16-year tech at Lexus of Greenwood Village, had been fighting a hose reel issue for nine months. Adam stopped in for a different reason, offered to take a look anyway, and had it fixed in about five minutes. Daniel hasn’t had a problem since.

Going the extra mile, owning the problem, and getting it right the first time is what ODP is all about. Thank you, Adam, for representing our team so well, and thank you, Daniel, for the kind words!

Had a great experience with ODP? We’d love it if you left us a Google review ⭐ https://g.page/r/CZCFuqO4jBokEAI/review

Short on bays but can’t add a permanent lift? 🔧

The Nussbaum Sprinter 7 portable lift handles up to 7,000 lbs, needs no anchoring or floor work, and rolls out of the way when you need the space back. It’s a great fit for some shops and the wrong call for others, so we laid out both sides on the blog.

🔔 Ding ding ding! If you guessed a Stertil-Koni SKYLIFT, you got it!

Our new in-ground scissor lift is officially in place in Henderson. When it's lowered it sits flush with the floor, and when it's raised, well, see photo two. 😉

Huge thanks to Matt Elder for landing this project and to our crew for bringing it home. Congrats to everyone who guessed right!

Hear that hiss? That's money. 💸

Compressed air leaks can waste 20–30% of what your compressor produces. That means it runs longer, wears out faster, and your tools get less pressure.

Here's a 5-minute test: spray soapy water on your fittings, couplers, and hose connections with the system pressurized. Bubbles mean a leak.

That $15,000 lift deal that seems too good to pass up? It might not exist at all.

Fake equipment sellers have cost buyers millions this year — real photos, fake businesses, and a wire transfer that disappears the moment it clears. AI is making these sites easier than ever to build and harder than ever to spot.

We put together a full red-flags checklist on our blog so you know exactly what to check before you send a payment — from certification claims to reverse image searches to how to verify a seller actually exists.

Sometimes the best part of the job is getting out of the office and into the dirt. 🛠️

Our team is hard at work on a new Toyota store install here in Colorado, setting Challenger Lifts EV10 in-ground lifts before the shop floor even goes in. Layout, coordination, weather, all of it — this crew has been putting in the work at the stage nobody usually gets to see.

Big thanks to Jacob Bennett for getting dirty and for the team shoutout. Proud of what this crew is pulling off out there!
