Humm mixed answers ,, curious as how many are parking on 4” slabs
Even if everyone here parked on a 4" slab, with some saying it's fine and others saying it's not, the poll doesn't tell what we need to know. How was the base prepared, and how tight is it? That's what matters.
I have a friend who owns a business where heavy tractor-trailer tankers and flat-beds with equipment on them, come in and out of his gate, every day. The entrance was 20' wide and probably 50' or more feet in, before it met a paved lot. The trucks kicked up a lot of dust, all day every day. So he decided to concrete that area, and I was there when they did it. They poured 2" over the stone. Yes, that's all. I asked him how long he thought that was going to last, since the truck weight would break it up into pieces, in no time. And that's when he told me what I am telling you.
That stone base he poured over, was so tight that it never rutted, even in the rain, with all the heavy truck traffic. I watched for cracks in that concrete for years. It didn't.
If YOUR pad is prepped right, and is properly compacted, your floor will hold whatever you park on it. If it wasn't, it will probably crack from the weight of your car. Either way, if it's already there, I wouldn't worry about it now. Just use it.
