Disclosed is an apparatus for removing a vehicle door and replacing it by a single operator. The apparatus includes a base having two vertically adjustable supports and a set of casters for moving the apparatus along the floor. The vertically adjustable supports engage the vehicle door at its lower edge to support it. A vertically extending frame rests against one side of the door. The frame is adjustable along the base to accommodate doors of varying widths. A strap holds the door against the frame. Once the vehicle door is secured to the apparatus it can be removed from the vehicle and rolled away. The door is secured in a fixed position on the apparatus, such that it will remain in substantially the same position it was when it was removed from the vehicle, thus, making it easy to connect the door back on the vehicle.
