Garage floor drains

What I did is I poured the floors flat but I put a trough near the bay doors and I squeegee the water to them. I also put a trough at the end of the apron out front to direct the runoff away from the driveway. The discharge runs into my yard with no problems in the last 10 years. But I do not wash out oil based products.. Best thing I did for the floor was when I put a epoxy coating on it to make it easier to clean. Lowes sells the grates that I used on top to of the troughs to keep the floor smooth and not have to bounce over the trough when driving in and out.
