I looked at buying it also. The sales person I spoke with stated it would not with stand the pressure of a 4 post hoist or wide car tires and 3/4 ton truck turning around inside a larger shop. The mildew question is also an issue he could not answer but I know it is not waterproof. They had it on special for under 2 bucks a square foot. I wouldn't make the purchase based on my questions. Sure looks great though !

(Which in that case it's not a candidate for a plastic tiled floor anyway.)
