Disclosed is a system for automatically elevating vehicles. The system is a substitute for standard, manually-operated car jacks, and jack stands. One or more systems may be installed underneath a vehicle. To lift a vehicle off the ground, the system utilizes a multi-stage actuator. The actuator may be powered, by either DC motor system, AC motor system, pneumatic system, or hydraulic system. The actuator is protected from distractive external elements by being situated inside a housing, integrating a retractable, electric door. The actuator is equipped with a high load universal joint, and attached thereto durable, non-skid plate. Acting in unity, the universal joint and the non-skid plate, ensures that the vehicle being elevated remains level on uneven ground, and during the operation of the Elevation System. The end-user may initiate the operation of the Elevation System manually via a control panel, or via a mobile application.
