Commercial Floor Tile Vinyl

I have done a search but no results.

I like the look of Vinyl tile in garages but wonder if it will hold up , commercial tile that is.

I have a working garage and will park cars in winter time with road salt and grime dropping on it.
I know you can replace any tile that get beyond repair and that's one of my concerns as then I can repair only wants bad.

Who has any experience with this type of garage floor.

Sounds like they were poorly installed. I have yet to have one come up.
