Auto bays punish concrete with hot tires, brake fluid, and impact from jacks and dropped tools, an auto shop epoxy floor is built for that abuse. Elite Epoxy Fort Myers (serving since 2016) installs and repairs high-build epoxy and urethane systems for shops in Fort Myers with proper prep, chemical resistance, and safer traction.
Prep decides whether an auto shop epoxy floor lasts or peels. We start with moisture testing (ASTM F2170 RH probes or ASTM F1869 calcium chloride where needed), then remove oils and silicones with mechanical grinding and HEPA dust control. Cracks and spalls are routed and rebuilt with epoxy crack filler and fast-set polyurea joint repair, then we profile the slab to a CSP 2-3 for most high-build systems (CSP 3-4 for heavier build). After cleanup, we prime to lock down porosity and improve bond, and we detail edges, stem walls, and around lift posts so the coating is continuous.
Fort Myers heat and humidity make dew point control and cure windows critical. We schedule around condensation risk, verify surface temperature and dew point, and choose the right chemistry for the bay: 100% solids epoxy base for build, optional vinyl flakes or quartz for grip, then a chemical-resistant urethane or polyaspartic topcoat to handle hot-tire pickup, oils, brake fluid, and tire dressing. For safety, we can add aluminum oxide or silica traction media in wet zones and create clear striping for walkways, service lanes, and lift areas. If your slab has moisture vapor issues, we install a moisture-mitigating epoxy primer to reduce blistering and osmotic pressure.
Fort Myers customers choose us because we treat shop floors like industrial work surfaces, not decorative garage coatings. Licensed and insured, we write clear scopes that list prep method, mil thickness targets, coat count, and cure times so you know what you are buying. Our crews work around operating hours when possible, protect equipment, and keep bays organized, with straightforward communication from estimate through final cure. When a floor is failing, we identify the real cause (contamination, improper profile, moisture vapor, or hot-tire pickup) and repair it the right way instead of just recoating over problems.
At the end of the job, we walk the floor with you under bright light and check coverage, uniformity, and slip-resistance where specified. You get a written system summary including materials used (primer, epoxy base, broadcast media if any, and topcoat), recommended cleaning products, and recoat timelines for future repairs. We also provide realistic return-to-service guidance: light foot traffic typically in 12-24 hours, equipment and vehicles after full cure based on the chosen system and conditions. If you need patching, joint repair, or a refresh topcoat later, we can match the existing finish and keep your auto shop epoxy floor looking professional and easy to maintain.

Most garage floors are completed in 1-2 days depending on prep, repairs, and the coating system. Cure times vary, but many polyaspartic topcoats allow faster return to service than epoxy alone.
Sometimes, but we have to verify adhesion and compatibility first. We typically grind to remove weak layers and create a bondable surface, then prime and recoat with a compatible epoxy or polyaspartic system.
Yes, metallic epoxy is available for showpiece interiors, offices, and retail areas where a high-gloss decorative look is the priority. We finish with a clear protective topcoat and can add traction where needed.
Moisture vapor can cause bubbling, whitening, or delamination. We evaluate the slab and, when needed, install a moisture-mitigating epoxy primer designed to handle elevated vapor transmission before building the coating system.
Some products have noticeable odor, especially certain solvents and fast-cure resins. We select products based on the space and ventilation, and we communicate what to expect before the job starts.
