A new combination wheel ramp and jack for raising a wheel and a corresponding part of the vehicle so that access to the underside of the vehicle is more easily achieved. The inventive device includes a lower support base assembly, an upper wheel platform assembly, a scissors assembly connecting the support base assembly and the wheel platform assembly and causing vertical movements of the wheel platform assembly when actuated, and a screwjack assembly connected to the scissors assembly for actuating the scissors assembly and thus causing vertical movement of the wheel platform assembly.
