If you have room, creating an island style work area with our benches will provide more storage and work surface. Here, a combination of standard and wide cabinets are used to create work zones for specific needs. Tools are stored and organized based on the project in each work zone. Wood tops and stainless steel tops are chosen depending on the type of work to be done in those zones. The diagonal tile floor adds a fun element of design to give the room a sporty look. Bright gloss white walls make cleaning easy.

If you have room for a bathroom in your garage, use gloss surfaces for easy clean-up. Stainless sinks and chrome fixtures are easier to remove grease and oil from. Choose a deep sink so cleaning parts is a breeze. Keep a towel dispenser close by. Add some fun with tile work or use car marque items to remind you of your favorite cars.

Stacking storage units provides maximum use of wall space especially for items you don't frequently need to access. Be sure to attach them to the lower cabinets and the walls for safety, even if you don't live in earthquake country.

By mounting holders, reels and other items on the wall, you keep the floor clean and clear of debris and obstructions. Many reels may be mounted on the ceiling as well. Here, even the garage door parts were powder coated to carry the red, black and white theme throughout the garage. These doors are pneumatic for quiet operation.

Stainless tops are a great surface when working on oily, messy components like engine parts. They clean up easily with a quick wipe. This top was custom made to fit the cabinet size and island work zone requirements.

There are a variety of lifts available depending on your ceiling height. Some manufacturers will paint their lifts custom colors as well. This is an item you don't want to skimp on. Purchase the best you can buy with safety in mind. Some require minimum concrete thickness for proper installation. The metal beam on the ceiling is used as an engine hoist, allowing you to remove an engine and then slide it along the metal rail to the work surface. Again, proper installation and adherence to load bearing is vital to safety.

In-floor lighting is an excellent way to illuminate the underside of your vehicle when it's up on a lift. Pre-planning is necessary when building a garage for power and installation. These lights are flush with the floor and have break resistant lenses.

A large floor level sink provides an excellent area to clean mops or parts. Have some fun with the tile design to match your décor, colors or passion for certain automotive marques. Here a tile from the Ferrari factory was used as an accent.

Mounting reels on the ceiling gives you the flexibility to access air, power, lighting or even water from all areas of your garage.

There are lots of ceiling light options. Do your homework and choose a lighting system that will illuminate all areas of your garage. Fans can help move air around in cold or hot conditions and will help expel exhaust and other fumes.

Flooring options run from paint to rubber mats to tile. Be sure when selecting a floor material you consider what you will be using your garage for. Discuss your use with an installer and be sure the material is designed for heavy loads. This floor is two-foot ceramic tiles grouted. The posts, lift and trim were all powder coated or painted to match the red theme.
