Does the flooring hold up well to floor jacks and jackstands? Is it solvent resistant? Is it as easy to roll stuff around the garage as a concrete floor is

I've got the same flooring in my garage. It holds up to floor jacks just fine. Jackstands, it depends. If they are the type that have sharp edges, then you really need to put something under them to avoid damaging the plastic tiles. If they are the cylindrical type with the flat bottom, then no problem.
Solvents don't seem to cause any issues, but all liquids flow through these tiles to the concrete floor below. That's great if you live in an area with snow because it allows everything to melt off and drain to the floor and out of the garage. It's not so great if you spill oil or coolant though.
Things roll around pretty easily on the floor. I have no issues with that at all.

I have these tiles as well. I love them.
That's it. That's all I have to add

Not sure what you're asking exactly, but I don't have any issues with the summer heat. They don't soften up, they don't warp, nothing like that. They don't buckle in heat. It's a floating floor, so they say you should allow a small amount of space for expansion during the summer months. Maybe that's what you're asking?
And honestly, I installed my work bench/cabinet set up on top of mine, so it's not exactly a true floating floor anymore. Still no issues at all though...the tiles stay flat on the floor.
It really is a nice garage. It looks like some sort of car business being run out of the garage to me, though. It may not be, but thats what it looks like.

First thought that came to my mind is car detailing. All really nice cars and really clean, so it kinda makes sense.
White Shadow, what brand cabinets and under-cabinet lighting is that? Your exact setup and color of the cabinets (neat red stripe!) is perfect for what I'm looking to setup in my garage. Thanks!

The garage cabinets are made by Saber. The owner used to work for a high-end tool cabinet company and then started his own business to build/sell decent quality cabinets at reasonable pricing geared toward homeowners. Overall, the cabinets really are pretty nice, especially for the price. The lighting I added and is just your basic LED tape strip lights on a hidden switch.
The red "racing" stripes on the cabinets is also something that I added to tie in with the color scheme of my garage. It's just red 3M vinyl tape.
Awesome I'll check them out. Up until your mention of Saber I was thinking of New Age or Gladiator.

I looked at both of those and Saber is higher quality. But honestly, choose what you like. I don't think you can go wrong either way.
