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.

We had our garage insulated, attic stairs installed, and the foam panels added to the garage door. Garage temp was just a few degress cooler than ambient. Only if you're going to have a split unit installed, I would have the garage door insulated.
