How to fix Garage puddles Fill or Drill to drain
I think a trough drain would be much more beneficial in your case. Even with the cold weather, it is likely that it would drain faster than it would freeze. I would be afraid that you are compromising the concrete by drilling and letting the water drain that way. Have you thought about contacting any Indianapolis contractors? They may be able to provide you with some other solutions that we aren't thinking of!

How to fix Garage puddles Fill or Drill to drain
This is an old thread, but the issue is upon many of us now that winter is here. My garage drains well but occasionally I get the ice on the garage door seal that Hardwood mentioned.
I was wondering if putting a thin layer of epoxy cement would work, I had this done in a basement once and it held up well, not tested with car tires of course which may be an issue. Or maybe a combination of the epoxy cement and these stick on tiles they make for garage floors now. Anyway my thoughts are for building it up not drilling.

Check out a product called floor levelling compound. It is soupy, cementious, self-levelling compound made just for this issue. Be sure to follow the directions as far as prepping the floor itself. It is fairly expensive $15 for a small bag, but may be worth it in the long run.

How to fix Garage puddles Fill or Drill to drain
When we built the house I wanted a floor drain in the garage but the building code was such that it would have required a grease trap and special permits. Of course that makes no sense, because the water will drain somewhere regardless of building codes or the presence or absence of a drain, but nobody said building codes always make sense.

How to fix Garage puddles Fill or Drill to drain
My home sits on a very deep area of sand, when the shop was built they gave the usual gears about a grease/oil trap, blah, blah, blah.
The reply they got was that it wasn't a drain at all, it was to prevent radon gas from building up underneath the floor slab.
Best of luck.
