You guys are in the snow belt. How easy is the clean up of snow-slop and mag chloride drippings after a winter storm? Just hose it off or what? How about tool boxes being rolled around on the tile? To accomodate a lift, should you cut out a section for the legs or just place it on top of the tile? Have you ever damaged one beyond repair...how?
I have a four car garage; two daily drivers in one side of the garage and the sacred altar of holy hot rods in the other two single size spaces. Would I be better off to tile the holy side and leave the bare concrete for the the dozers?

No problem cleaning up. We usually just mop up the mess. No problem with tool boxes, they just roll right over it. We put the two post lift directly on the concrete and just cut the tile to fit around it. We put a four post lift on top of the tile. We have lifted up some tiles when picking up very heavy machines and turning sharply on the fork lift. We have also damage tile by dropping articles that are being welded (in other words they were very hot) and melting a tile. If a tile is damaged it is very easy to replace. I would tile the whole garage, but of course you could tile half the garage and if you like it do the rest. We were surprised at how much the plastic tile is easier on your feet.

That cleaning process in the Rustoleum Video did not impress me as being
"easy as painting", plus the week waiting time - I got the Costco tiles but
have a bit more work to do before I drop them. Glad to hear the good
reports. Whew!
