Placement Tips
While AutoFloorGuard mats are simple to set up, proper placement is key to ensuring maximum effectiveness in protecting your garage floor. Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your mat:
Positioning for Complete Coverage
Make sure your mat is large enough to cover the area where your vehicle or equipment sits. For best results, your mat should extend at least 1-2 feet beyond the vehicle’s footprint to capture any runoff from snow, rain, or oil.
Securing the Mat
For busy garages with frequent vehicle movement, take advantage of the Stay-Put Corners included with your AutoFloorGuard mat. These corners help prevent shifting and sliding, even with frequent driving on and off the mat, ensuring consistent protection.
Regular Adjustment
Over time, the mat may shift slightly due to vehicle traffic or cleaning. Periodically check and adjust the mat’s position to ensure it continues to cover the intended area and provide full protection for your garage floor.
By following these tips, you can ensure your AutoFloorGuard mat remains in place and performs at its best, offering complete, hassle-free protection.

Competitor Assembly vs Auto Floor Guard
AutoFloorGuard doesn’t just offer floor protection—it delivers premium performance that sets it apart from the competition. Here’s why AutoFloorGuard mats are the preferred choice for both residential and commercial use:
Durability
AutoFloorGuard mats are constructed from heavy-duty Polyester Scrim fabric, a material trusted in the trucking industry for its toughness and resilience. Competing products often use lighter materials that wear out quickly, especially in high-traffic areas.
Containment Technology
With built-in containment edges and heat-sealed, watertight seams, our mats offer superior containment for liquids and debris, preventing leaks and stains from reaching your garage floor. Many competitors lack these features, leading to messy clean-ups and potential damage to the surface below.
Included Accessories
AutoFloorGuard includes Stay-Put Corners to keep your mat securely in place, along with a squeegee and telescoping pole for easy cleaning—at no extra cost. Competing mats often require additional purchases to get these essential features.
When you choose AutoFloorGuard, you're not just getting a mat—you’re investing in a complete protection solution that is durable, effective, and easy to maintain.
What Customers Are Saying
Jan M.
“We purchased an [AutoFloorGuard] last year. It is the best product! We live in northern Minnesota, and the snow just piles up in the garage, and then we have water everywhere. This mat takes care of everything and is very easy to empty the water outside. Just slide it out and fold over. I would definitely recommend it to all!”
Dory
“This does exactly what it claims to do. … It contains all the water, dirt and sludge from my SUV and keeps my garage floor clean and dry. The edges don't look deep enough in the photo, but this mat has handled everything I've brought in from the Maine weather. … Very durable yet lightweight and easy to handle. Now I don't have to worry about water seeping into the walls or tracking water/mud/dirt into the house. I opened the box and laid it down on my garage floor.”
Elizabeth E.
“Love it, I have not been using my garage because it is carpeted with indoor carpeting. I live in Ohio, so you can imagine what our winters are like. The Auto Floor Guard works perfectly, Keeps the garage clean and allows me to park in the garage. Thank you for stocking this item.”
Karlene
“Edges are built in and do not require assembly. [I] just have to say, your mat is awesome. I know I told you it was good, but it really has been a relief. I have a one-car garage and live in Buffalo. The snow, sludge for the last few months had made the kids and [me] miserable. It would soak the garage floor, everything that was in it, and we always had to put boots on just to run into the garage to grab something, track through deep water and then bring it in the house. The mat contains it ALL now and we just know to walk around the mat to get whatever we need.”
Happy Camper - RIN

Also your website is so easy to maneuver thru just makes everything easy. Once I get the new shop you are first on my list of must have.Happy Camper Rin from Nova Scotia Canada and yes we get lots of snow.”
Natalie Loiselle
“My garage floor collects water and pools like crazy due to a failed grinding and epoxy from the previous owner. The winters are hazardous and have caused numerous slips and falls. This mat catches everything from my 2023 GMC Sierra AT4 perfectly. It still pools, but it does so on the mat, and I can quickly and easily swipe it away or or shop vac it up.”
