Called a concrete guy just to be safe.
(Firm Built, as mentioned by Catalin in VLS/Home Reno)

He checked it out, said the slab wasn't deep enough and that it was at most 2 inches. The lift requires 4 inches min. It's not really something I want to fuck with since it's a safety issue. I don't want it to ever fall on me/car due to a shit install.

He's calling me back with a quote tomorrow, and suggested that he digs 2x2x1, then fills. Sounds reasonable.

Also asked him about putting in a 20x8x1 slab on the side of my driveway, and he said it would be about $1700. So I'm really hoping that the fix on the anchor sites won't be anymore than $500.

This lift better be worth it.
