Looks real nice...

Now that you have the tile down for app.4+ years..How did it hold up ?
Are there any slight cracks in it where the concrete may Not have been 100% level..?
Or any other small problems ?
Thanks,

I've had VCT in my garage for 6+ years and its held up great. The only problem I've had was using a jack/jackstands on the floor. You need to use something like additional tiles to protect the floor or you'll dent it. Worst case, pull one up and replace it. Ya' I know, the Acura is on its way out soon for the new Maro...

Has held up well. The only two issues were self inflicted. The first one happened when I installed rear disc pads on my 99 Caddy Eldo and didn't pay attention to the brake fluid I was squeezing out of the MC. A few hours later I noticed, but it did mark a tile. The second issue was the Caddy over heated and when I pulled it into the garage and turned it off it puked hot water all over the place. That just removed the finish coats I put on each year. I strip and clean it once a year with the HD ZEP products and put on about 4 or 5 clear coats. Otherwise I just damp mop it every 3 months.

For jack stands I cut 4 12x12x1 pieces of wood for protection.
