I plan to do this myself, but the question I have is has anyone else done this and does it make that much of difference. The AC salesmen I talked to said it could lower the temperature in the garage by as much as 20*. Living in MN, I know just having your car in the garage during the winter can have that much affect. Just trying to do some fact checking and look for product recommendations.

I can't speak to the garage door insulation. A previous owner to my house installed a powered ceiling fan (about a foot square) in the garage ceiling that can be turned on/off. In addition, there were two vents placed at the bottom of the garage door so you can turn the fan on and it pulls air in though the door vents and vents it into the attic area. I've not used much as I don't work in the garage much but thought I would include this to give an idea.
