Epoxy Flooring for Auto Shops
SwedeBro’s auto shop flooring is designed to handle the heavy-duty conditions of this industry. This is a high wear environment that’s exposed to salt, water, oil, gas, cleaners, and other corrosive and damaging auto fluids. On top of that, heavy machinery is frequently moved around, and tools are dropped, which damages vulnerable concrete and can create a dangerous environment for personnel. Our epoxy flooring solutions are abrasion, slip, scratch, and chemical resistant. This means your facility, equipment, and personnel will have long-term protection from these unsafe conditions and you can avoid costly maintenance and repairs.
While auto dealerships and shops are industrial environments, they need to look great too! We have endless design options to choose from and we can customize your epoxy system to meet your functional needs. Whether you choose solid color, metallic, partial flake, or any of our other stunning options, we will make it work for your facility.

Frequently Asked Questions about Auto Shop Flooring
What type of flooring is best for auto shop flooring?
Solid color or partial flake epoxy are the most common, but many different types can be used.
How do vehicles affect the flooring?
Epoxy is easily cleaned and offers chemical and stain resistance to most automotive fluids. It is always recommended, however, to clean up spills right away. Even if spills are left and there is some spotting or staining, it does not affect the performance of the epoxy in terms of protecting the concrete.
How long is the downtime required for installing epoxy floors in an auto shop?
The downtime is typically just 1-3 days for an auto shop epoxy flooring install.
How long does an epoxy auto shop floor last?
About a decade, sometimes more depending on the level of care taken in cleaning and maintaining.
Can skid resistance be added to an auto shop floor?
Yes, we can add customizable skid resistance to our epoxy flooring options.

Common Issues with cement flooring in auto shops
If your auto shop floors are currently concrete, they may seem durable, but they’re porous and prone to deterioration. This can lead to chipping, cracking, and staining. As the floor begins to show wear, the corrosion rate increases as the porous concrete draws in water and other automotive fluids. Even polished concrete, while more attractive, lacks the protection needed for a working shop floor.
The problem with rubber tile flooring in auto shops
Interlocking tiles or rubber mats may offer quick installs, but they shift over time, trap moisture underneath, and don’t hold up under the weight of jacks or equipment. Floor paints and sealers wear down fast, often peeling or flaking within months, especially in high-use bays.
