I tiled mine 18 years ago with B&Qs cheapest floor tiles. Only negative is that they are really slippy when wet so have to be careful when walking in and out of the garage when washing the car / van.
I used to put the jack / stands on plywood to lift up vehicles but now just do it straight off the tiles and no damage yet!

Cheers Ian, did you just bed them on normal tile adhesive? Nothing fancy? It's something I want to DIY but having only tiled kitchen walls before etc it's new to me
I used mototile in mine, they do an industrial one that you can jack on/use axle stands etc - I went for the recycled ones and you wouldn’t know, I am very pleased after 3 or 4 years.
I park a 1200GS on its main stand without issues, sagging or any dents - recommended

it was solid (as opposed to flexible) powder mix adhesive, in a bucket and mixer blade in the electric drill. I used a notched spreader and ensured no voids / gaps, particularly at the edges. All tiles had a good wriggle to bed them.
here it is..
Put these puppies down on a solid adhesive base. I think these are the same as we put down in the kitchen. Cheap as chips!

Has anyone considered laying vinyl? In our old house, I used the vinyl that I took out of the kitchen. It was cut up in all shapes, but did the job well. We built a new house a couple of years ago, and I had vinyl fitted properly. It actually worked out cheaper than floor paint.
Spot on! Is that a 996 c4s wheel I spot too
If you are thinking about ceramic tiles onto that old apoxy floor you may need to grind it back to remove old paint
Did wonder that, I think it might need a self levelling screed though so hope that would sort it?
Ha! I'll cross my fingers a screed works! That looks a proper piece of kit! It would take a year to get the dust out after!
Easier to clean up than on concrete!
Looks spot on that!
