Garage floor question

[06Daytona]

The floor in my garage is tile like most garages in Puerto Rico. When the house was built they thought that 12x12 tile that looks like brick would be nice and it makes it a real pain to move an engine hoist, engine stand or anything else with wheels on it. It also means that I have to be careful where I put jacks or jackstands and it's a complete pain to keep clean.
I was  wondering if anyone has any experience with clear epoxy, or any other options for getting the floor smooth without pulling the old tile and up.

What about a product like Racedeck?  http://www.racedeck.com
I've never used them but they might be a quick install for you...

I thought about something like that, but it all seems to be textured with diamond plate or little circles. I'd like to find something smooth so my creeper stops being a massage creeper

What about a smooth tile overlayed on the existing tiles

You could "float" the floor with concrete leveler http://www.ehow.com/how_12218451_use-floor-leveling-compound-over-ceramic-tile.html

I have done it then placed tile, I am not sure how it would hold up to an engine hoist though.

High psi LevelCrete coated with numerous layers of commercial epoxy would do the trick.
But if the tile are not stuck to the underlayment, you will have problems with cracking.

Is there a concrete slab under the tile?

you can apply a high build epoxy system. you will need to pour it out and float it with a squeegee . epoxy uses a mechanical  bonding process.  [etched surface or roughend by any means to stick ].. " gulf coast " makes some very good high build finishes. epo-plex i think is one or epolon. ppg makes some that will go on  @ 1/4" + or so .there are many ways to do it. you need to be above average in the ability to apply  this stuff . if you float the floor with skim coats, it may not have enough surface strength to use jack stands without scratching/digging  into the surface.

I thought about putting down smooth tile on top of what's there, but I think it would get pretty expensive to get tile thick enough to handle all the cars and tools.
I'm starting to lean towards the rubberized floor panels if I can find smooth ones. That way I can do it a few rows at a time and I can always pull them apart if I ever decide to do a major garage cleaning again.
The ideal thing would be thick epoxy that could withstand tools and engine hoists but still have the tile look to it. The problem with that is that if it's too thin it can chip or peel.
I could always just put soft rubber tires on my tool boxes, creeper, picker and engine stands to smooth out the ride.

I will diverge from the consensus and say go with breaking up the tile, and epoxying the cement floor for a smooth finish.
