It may sound weird, but I used VCT tile in my garage and I really like it. Cheap, durable and easily repaired.

That looks like it just a repackaged kit from U-coat-it

I bought mine from U-Coat-It, it was pricey, but looks great

Has anyone used that self-leveling concrete repair kit from por15? I'm debating on what to do with my garage floor since it's full of huge and uneven cracks. Do you think it would even out say 1/2" raises in the concrete or do I need a whole new slab poured?

another vote to go read on garage journal under the flooring section.

I used Wolverines epoxy coating from alphagarage. It's been holding up pretty good despite being graced with acetone, paint thinner, MEK, gasoline, motor oil and a healthy showering of sparks from the welder.

Google professional concrete polishing. They do this in stores like Home Depot, Lowes, Costco, etc.

Turns out very nice. No worries about flaking or lifting like many coatings do.
