The flooring MidAmerica sells is MotorMat (http://www.motormat.com/).
I bought this flooring from MidAmerica about 6 months ago. It was very easy to install, about 3 hours for the entire garage. It has proven to be very durable and easy to clean

***EDIT*** Maybe not ... They have 48 sq ft. for $120 ... that's $2.50/sq.ft. ... yours looks less $$$. Hope this helps.

If it is MotorMat, then it should be pretty good. I've heard that this stuff holds up well.

I had a problem and ditched the flooring. The flooring allows water to seep through. It is not impervious to water. The danger is....If your garage is not pitched the right direction, water will settle in areas under the mat, contributing to mildew and cement degredation. To help eleviate this, a sealer or paint was added after first install. That is correct...I pulled the mat up becuase of the mildew. In doing so, the amount of crud that was left over was horrendous. Now, I do not keep a dirty garage. But I do keep it open in the summer, allowing dust and leaves to get in ...Cant help that.....Anyway, what I was getting at is even after I painted an reinstalled, the mildew smell came back. Good Luck.

Did it in the last house and was shocked when I pulled it up...kind of like pulling a bedliner out of a pickup. You would not believe what was under it. It did a number on my garage floor as well.
This house I got garage floor paint and did the deed the hard way.
Much better results.Peace
