the wheels on the trolley jack sink in with the weight of the car but they return to shape afterwards without any damage. There is no movement at all from the tiles when going from lock to lock, just lots of squeeking

I think this would freak me out. Trolley jacks need to roll as freely as possible as they lift as the saddle moves backwards a little as you raise it. Cos geometry.

Industrial distribution centres - with fork lifts running around and heavy crap being dropped etc tend to go for resin floors - often with more than one pour and with some sand-like thrown on for grip.

Tile floor, the best thing I ever did in my garage.

If you back butter, ooh sexual, the tile they don't crack when you drop heavy stuff on them.

Dave!

I've probably made it sound worse than it is and I'm very risk averse in my old age when working on cars. They don't totally bury themselves and it still rolls freely when jacking up a car
