## Abstract

A lift assembly for use with automobiles includes a tire lift and a detachable lift. The tire lift is configured to grasp and selectively lift a tire while the detachable lift is selectively configured to locate and lift up the automobile using a jack. The tire lift and the detachable lift transfer data between them and include a battery supply and motor controller. The motor controller operates motors used to selectively locate the detachable lift relative to the tire lift. A sliding body adapter is coupled to the tire lift and is configured to translate along a plane relative to the tire lift. A body extender is coupled to the detachable lift and configured to translate so as to locate the jack. The body extender is configured to move the jack in a direction perpendicular to that of the movement of the sliding body adapter.
