Agree with other posters.

I have a double garage (about 600sqft?) on my house and a 5000W electric heater.

Costs about $100 a month to leave it on at a low setting. It's poorly insulated and rarely opens (we park on the driveway).

I haven't run it much this winter because I haven't been out there, but in the long-run if you want a heated garage, I'd go for gas. It's more upfront cost, but gas heat is always going to be cheaper than electric heat.
