Cracked concrete slab in garage- how to move forward with 'nice' flooring?

Searched on here- figured I'd see if any of you have encountered cracks in your garage floor slab and how you've then 'fixed up' the garage/floor.

I figure to get any sort of protectant/seal down first these would need to be at a minimum professionally patched, and possibly a new floor poured?

Any advice would be appreciated- if tossing racedeck over the cracks would work this could certainly be the cheapest route to go.

Thanks

The previous owner of my home put down the rubber floor that comes in huge rolls, about 8' wide. I like it, as it is really easy to sweep out, can be hosed out if really dirty, and can be removed if required. Most of the race-deck flooring I've seen requires a lot of work to snap it all together. If the decking is not solid, spills would run through and require you to lift the floor to clean up.
I've seen the stuff at Costco now, and it's not too expensive.

How bad are they? You can probably do it yourself if you want to spend the time. Home Depot has alot of products for concrete patching, etc.

I'm in the process of "remodeling" my garage and have a huge crack across my slab that'll need fixing before I proceed. The crack is wide enough that I'll probably have to grind it out and fill it back with expoxy concrete patch. I'm also trying to decide if I want to go the custom route and do the floor tiles in some sort of pattern. The other thing I am considering is having one of those truck bedliner products sprayed on the floor. It is apparently great for concrete and is slip resistant, easy clean up, good warranty etc.....
