Try to buy the dollies that have each caster fastened with a 4 bolt flange vs the dollies that have a single stud. The single stud dollies tend to fold the wheel under when you're rolling it if you snag a rock or a crack in the concrete.

The floor on the garage needs to be real clean or else 

any little bit of crap (pebbles) and even a crack in the floor

will give you a hard time maneuvering the wheel dolly.

With a heavy car, even the wheel dolly wheel direction may need

help by having to turn each wheel manually before it will move

in the direction you want it to go.

Hi Kim,

I have a heavy duty set of dollies sitting idle in my shop. You are welcome to borrow them for as long as you need them.

Got mine from Princess Auto. Heavy duty with steel wheels. Had them for probably close to 20 years with no trouble. Not sure of the quality these days. Those in the picture are for a snowmobile.
