Default Vinyl on a GARAGE FLOOR

Anybody ever put vinyl on their garage floor? Is it a good job or does it just compress when you park a car on it and wreck it or does it tear when you brake??

Im a shop fitter and the weight on the floors os emmense. you can drive cheerypickers on them and there waterproof vynle so i think iys a good sensible idea and will be able to handle everything you do. make sure the edges are welded though to keep it tight

I looked at that mate but it is very expensive. Its a new cavity wall garage attached to the house with radiators in it. Just dont know what to do with the floor even tho its a sand/ cement job and very well finished.

I currently have a rather nice rug in there, but I do have a tin of floor paint to go down in the spring - designed for the job so a no-brainer in my books

Carpet would not last a year in my garage. First I would get oil on it, and then I would set fire to it and the rest of the garage with the grinder or welder
