Looks great. How about some details - what did you use and maybe pricing? You can PM the info on price if you feel more comfortable with that.

Here you go Jack.
Details as requested...
The tiles are VCT, available at Lowes or Home depot.
They are .66 a square foot. My garage is 25 X 21, roughly 370.00 in material.
Install time was roughly four hours. Myself, a buddy of mine and his Girl friend.
I put weather stripping down under the garage door to help keep water from getting under the tiles.

Congrats on the awesome floor! Oh I love a garage that looks nice!!! But unfortunately I use jacks, jackstands, disassemble my Vettes all the time.

Maybe one day I'll have a garage to just park in.

$370 to finish off a floor that generaly looks like crap otherwise is money well spent.

wish we had done that as our floor was $6.50 a square foot and yours probably looks better .

Most of the better garage flooring solutions can take the abuse. A friend of mine has Racedeck and works on his cars all the time. He even dropped a tranny and was able to clean the floor up pretty easily.

Patches also has Racedeck garage tiles and he has a 4-post lift installed on top of the floor.

i'd be interested in what kind of prep work you did prior to installing the tiles.

All I did was scrape the floor to remove old adhesive left over from construction , paint and other stuff.
