Yeah. I installed a blower from an old forced air furnace on a shelf just under the peak of the roof. Had to cut a vent hole in the wall. Covered the hole with 1/2 weld wire to keep birds and bats out of the fan blades. Had to make a rain guard mountined on the outside. Made that out of a used piece of furnace duct.
My garage is 25x30 ft. This fan changes out the air in about 10 minutes. If that, As soon as you turn on the blower you feel the air move.

If you construct the garage in proper ventilation arrangement by giving acceptable height to enter natural air flow in the garage, the hot air vent out easily. If you don't have the facility for the above method, then we have to introduce forced air fan in one side and exhaust fan in other side to vent out the hot air.

If your garage has an attic door you could try leaving that open, allowing the hotter air to escape through the turbines on the roof. Leave the garage door open a little, that may help, too. You could also see if the website below helps...

Yes. You can install an exhaust fan, or if you really need it, even air conditioning. Walling off heat sources (furnace and hotwater tank) will certainly help, as well as insulating the walls and garage door (if it's outside heat that's elevating your garage temperature).

Just like an attic fan, hook it up to a thermostat.
