Dealership service drive & service bay flooring

Service drives: start with the wheel paths

Look at the path from the overhead door to the write-up lane. Tires turn in the same places, wet vehicles bring water inside and staff walk between cars. We discuss where a decorative flake finish makes sense, where extra texture is useful and how the surface will be cleaned.

Technician bays: repair the concrete before choosing a finish

A rolling toolbox crossing a broken joint needs a different fix from a worn topcoat. We check damaged edges, existing coatings and areas exposed to shop fluids. Tell us what the shop uses and how spills are cleaned so we can compare the proposed system against those exposures.

Wash areas: check where the water goes

We look at the drain transition, where water collects and how the slab is cleaned. A new coating follows the existing slope. If the drain or piping needs attention, that is identified separately from the flooring scope.

Which system fits the shutdown window?

An epoxy system, a broadcast finish or a urethane cement base with a compatible finish may be worth comparing, depending on the zone. Where rapid return matters, we review whether a specified methyl methacrylate (MMA) finish is appropriate. Timing depends on the selected assembly, ventilation, slab temperature and the point at which vehicles must return.

Can one bay be done first?

Yes. We look at access around lifts and doors, which entrances must remain open and whether vehicles can be routed around the work. A single repair, service lane or wash area can be quoted separately.
