Your car is built to stay outside 24/7/365 and withstand extreme hot and cold, rain, snow, and wind, for very long periods of time. Your garage is a much better enviroment than outside and will do just fine without having to keep it "warm". If you feel you need to get a heater, take a trip over to Home Depot or Lowe's. They have lots of portable heaters in-stock.

Strongly suggest NOT leaving an electric heater on all night unattended. Simply too big a risk - waking up at 3am to the sound of your garage on fire isn't worth it. If you're intent on heating things, opt for a standard garage heater - best combination I've seen is the Hot Dawg series manufactured by Modine (they also make automotive radiators) in Racine, Wisconsin - good source is QC Supply - will run about $500 and you can order them to run on LP or Natural gas. I installed my own on a Saturday. www.qcsupply.com.
Good part about it is you can leave a thermostat set at 35 or 40 degrees overnite. On Saturday when you feel like detailing, or just puttering around, turn it up to 65.
