I've had my Racedeck floor for about 9 months and am very happy with it. I have not noticed any dents caused by cars, floor jacks, etc. It did put dents in the floor with sharp edged jack stands. I just welded 1 inch pads on the bottom of the legs and that solved the problem. I also put pads on the sharp edges of the lift ramps and glued linoleum to the lift leg pads to cushion them a bit. The cars include a Ford Expedition. I have the diamond plate and it seems very slip resistant. Was the floor that was slippery - smooth or diamond plate? I believe the smooth tile would be sippery if wet. One other issue is that if it's a hot day and the sun shines directly on the tile with the door up it lifts a bit at the edge because of expansion. It goes back down as soon a I close the door or the roof shades it. Sun shine through the windows is not a problem.
