Garage concrete repair advise
A few years ago my garage floor started to flake and crack where it slopes down to our driveway. It seems to be in certain areas. I believe that it's due to the snow melt from our vehicles, it pools at the garage door, freezes and then melts.
I mixed some generic cement and filled it in, it last a winter or two but this year it is worse. I want to fix it the right way as it is getting deeper.
What can I do to correct this problem the proper way? What materials?
Here are some photos:

Unfortunately there really are no good, long term, patching materials.
They make some epoxy patching materials but winter freeze thaw and salt runoff are going to be tough to overcome.

chip down to sound conc,, make certain the patch area is extremely clean, repair w/polymer-modified mtl from the apron/vest store,,, no epoxy rqd,,, fairly easy fix ,,, depending on what you buy ( we use cement-all), you may need some dark grey pigment avail from sher-w,s - use the wtr-bas'd latex colorant[,,, freeze/thaw won't be an issue

I want something that will hold up, are you saying that Cement All is a good product vs Epoxy resin?

I have had very good success with a cement repair product called Top'n Bond.
It wont last forever but I have extended the life of several different concrete surfaces.
