If a commercial garage with hazardous locations there could be issues, but otherwise there is no general prohibition of floor boxes in a garage. It does need to be suitable for the conditions that will be encountered, which could include a box rated for wet locations.

Shocked?

Good one.

I have seen floor boxes in tile floors next to small indoor pools. I think they were 6 feet away. I didn't get shocked but I was a bit amused.
