I built or own home and installed duct work in the ceiling of the 3 car
garage along with a high efficiency furnace sized for the total square feet
of the garage. Another factor of keeping heat in the garage is insulated
walls/ceiling, having insulated garage doors and good sealing weather
strip. I am also the guy with the third stall that ramps down to the
basement floor level so the work shop connects to the garage. The workshop
is heated with the rest of the first floor and it's where I park the
Chevelle during the winter. Stole the concept from my Dad who has several
antique cars in his basement at all times. People call it the bat cave.

I'd use a portable heater but I probably still couldn't get the temp in my
3
car garage up over 35 degrees.
