Default Tankless hot water?

I too have the tankless instant hot water system. Everyone in neighborehood knows of the proble. Takes forever to get hot water. 3-5 min not uncommon.
Problem is multifold.
1 tankless heater is at far end of garage, adding 15-20 feet of extra pipe to get hot water thru.
2 tankless heater is capped at 120 degrees. (This can be adjusted from instructions i found.)
3 lack of insulation on the hot water piping. (If you turn off hot water, it cools down very rapidly).

Only help i can see for this problem is.
1 relocate instant tankless heater. Not going to happen.
2 put mini 110v heaters at desired locations to assist.
3 increase hot water temperature per instructions.
