Default Garage Remodel Stuff

I live in an older house (1947) that has a one car garage where I keep my car parked. I decided to remodel the garage in anticipation of the new car arriving soon. I am using products from The Complete Garage. They sell some great wall panels that are proving to be very useful. Once it is all done I will post some pics. Has anyone used products from The Complete Garage? Specifically, I was going to buy the grid floor covering that they sell but I am wondering how it will do with hot tires. It does not come with any kind of warranty statement.

You're right to question the flooring and note the tyre is the most volatile and reactive chemical on a modern vehicle, so it will permanently mark any surface not designed to resist its smirch.

Coincidentally, I was traveling recently and wandering past a "complete garage" place but wasn't impressed by their in-store display. I want a garage that can't trap dust above or under shelves and cabinets. I also want to be able to scrub the floor and hose it out without water getting trapped or grit accumulating around furniture legs/feet etc. And I want the tool drawers to be at least as hefty as Snap-on/MAC etc. It's a bit of a yawn, but the best total garage stuff I've seen so far as the high-end Craftsman stuff which was on display at a local Sears for a while. Double roller drawers, heavy gauge metal cabinets, sealed against dust and critters. Very nice stuff. Crazy prices for a "store" brand, but so it goes.
