If you are considering a garage floor mat or garage floor tiles we would highly suggest our ultra flat garage floor tile or the levant pattern garage floor mats. A distant second is coin pattern garage tile or mats.

Ultimately the decision is yours, but we offer some great options that work perfectly in situations with creepers and rolling toolboxes. We also suggest you consider a Oil Absorbent Garage mat under any leaking vehicles and for work areas.
