        "text": "For a standard residential garage that will house passenger vehicles, a concrete slab thickness of 4 inches is generally sufficient and widely recommended. If the garage is intended for heavier vehicles, such as trucks, RVs, or includes a workshop area with heavy equipment, increasing the thickness to 5 or 6 inches, along with additional reinforcement like rebar, is advisable. Proper thickness ensures the floor can withstand the expected loads without cracking or settling over time.",
