So when Sarah needed undercar vehicle access to keep her automotive taskforce operating, she looked for lift equipment that could handle a variety of vehicle designs, aid with automotive repairs, and greet lifting challenges with ease. In turn BendPak delivered two capable 2-post lifts, namely very strong and versatile Grand Prix 2-Post GP-7’s . Each will effortlessly raise up to 7,000 lbs. at a height of 74” above the floor.

With her cool cruisers and BendPak GrandPrix GP-7’s in place, Sarah Greenwood’s Arizona desert locale has made a great setting to showcase her reality-based automotive pursuits. With these videos, Sarah has garnered a following that totals an impressive several million viewers. Once you spend just a few moments on Sarah N Tuned Social channels, you will recognize that Sarah is a car enthusiast to the core. Take for instance that 1991 Toyota MR2. That particular car is not just one of the 3 that she owns, but is the car she dreamed of having years back in high school.

So when she located this one advertised for sale, she eagerly secured the deal. The Toyota when purchased by Sarah had been set aside by its previous owner and was far from operating properly. Hence the sale price to Sarah for just $2,600. But after 3 years of laboring, Sarah has restored and built the MR2 to just as she wanted it. For a sampling of what she has created, check out the following link where Sarah’s 1991 Toyota MR2 ( Mr. Dos) is purchased and then becomes transformed.

But most importantly, Sarah demonstrates on her channels that building a car from beginning to end largely requires attention to detail, curiosity, and the confidence to learn. The costs, allotted time, and the ability can almost always just be separated into smaller sections. In other words, by fostering your skills and versatility you can continue to make progress.

That same skillful attention to detail is evident in almost all of her Social productions. Where others might deliver their Social video works by explaining an endless information account of “this is it”, Sarah’s perspective addresses mechanical challenges with a seemingly deliberate “this is why?” It is this flair for principally thinking out loud with impulsiveness that even non-car enthusiasts can appreciate while viewing.
