Not naming names, but this is totally false: We typically do not recommend insulating ABOVE the garage unless you are adding A/C to the garage. Heat rises and when you insulate the garage ceiling you are also holding in the heat that comes from hot engines, etc.


Couple times over the last seven years I have been up in my garage attic in the summer and it is frig'n cooking up there compared to my garage. The insulation is keeping heat out of my garage......maybe my garage is magic.
