Default Fine crack in garage floor

I have a double-width garage. I presume that when they originally
built the property (about 8 years ago) they laid the concrete floor in
two halves.

There's a crack developed more or less centrally between the two bays,
running about 80% of the distance front to back. The crack is nothing
serious (yet anyway), but I'm wondering whether it's something I ought
to be concerned about? If so, what should I be considering as my
options?

Knowing how stingey builders are it wouldn't surprise me if they
short-changed the concrete in the garage floor and this crack is due
to settlement, bearing in mind that there's a car parked on one side
and not the other (we are a one car family).

Ah, your problem is obviously the single car storage. It's creating uneven
stresses on the concrete... you garage is in danger.

Tell you what, I'll sell you a lovely Honda Prelude, that should balance the
problem out, and save the garage....
