If its failing it was likely an improper mix and will continue to
fail. Anything you put on it might make a repour impossible.

The garage is at basement level and the rest of the basement floor is
OK as is the rest of the garage floor where the car is not parked.
Could it be the road salt? *I'm in NE PA and we have fairly long

My concrete floor is maybe 90yrs and fine and full of salt, id say the
wrong mix was used.

Unless you have 1000 times more cars rolling over your garage floor than
drive on a concrete freeway, I'd say it's not "wear and tear." Probably
something more basic, such as NOT being actual concrete.

I'd guess you've got a mock concrete floor.

Jackhammer it out and repour it. Anything else is going to look terrible.

Also, it is only failing in the area where the tires roll and the
floor never freezes.

I think I'd also have a professional on sl;abs look at it. If the garage is
mis-done, so might the rest of the house?
