Garage heater recommendations
Bought myself a cheap 2000kw garage heater and it's rubbish. I've got an in door van heater that blows warmer air.

Gas heaters tend to cause condensation, electric heaters are expensive to run, depends how big and insulated the garage is, if garage is attached to house I would put a large radiator in there connected to central heating and Insulate it well.
