Default garage ventilation

Has anyone used the Solar guys (or anyone else) to add a ceiling vent in the garage with added vents on the door itself? Does it really cool the garage? I already have solar attic fans above the garage and the house, but the garage is still awfully hot even with the door insulated. Any help would be appreciated.

We had a solar exhaust fan installed in the attic. Solar Lights did the work, it cools the garage off nicely

I am having the Solar Guys do 2 attic fans and the garage ventilation. Total cost for the 3 will be $1445.00

Solar Guys did ours along with a solar tube and solar fan. The attic helps when it cools down. If it doesn't cool down at night it doesn't help much. Still think insulating the garage attic will help immensely. They use a reflective insulation around R 19.

Just a note about garage insulation. Our cyv did not have any above the garage so we had extra insulation put in the attic and also above the garage.
