I would say on flooring use the 6-8mm tile and darker colours. I was going for white and black but wouldnt be white long.
The EVA tiles are good value and warm compared to PVC but not ideal for jacking up and car movements especially 4wd tight turns etc
PVC is stronger and will last longer IMHO avoid the 10-13mm thick PVC that have voids heard they distort.
PVC about £20+vat m2
EVA about £4 m2
So £600 to £3k
Some has already quote evatile you can try my favourite even do a clear tiles to put emblem on and even LED lit tiles

Or fairly reasonable
Barkley plastic Birmingham MEJHarwood@barkley.co.uk
love the place would love half that amount of room. Doing great job
Cheers

great thread buster. Nice before and after (and stage by stage) pictures.
Garage is very big indeed, now with some decent storage units too.
noticed some lovely security devices- locked garage door, one of those floor pillars which prevent cars leaving the premises when up, a gated driveway, security cameras.
Whats your trade then, you seem to have all round skills in plumbing, electrics, building
