Enough of COVID...what are you doing to the house?

Smallish garage volume so even electric heat to moderate temperature wouldn't be crazy expensive. I still think mini-splits in the garage are a great idea. Low operating cost, nice to work in and nicer on the crap (and bikes) you store in the garage.

What's the going rate for the smallest mini-split that could heat a 20x20 2-car garage?

I haven't calculated tonnage required. Minisplits start at out about 2K. Installation can vary wildly. I think you could legally self-install with an electrical permit and vacuum pump. Many "pros" don't bother to pump down the lines and just crack the valves and call it a day. They don't pay for the efficiency and longevity hit of their laziness.

@Mad Mike installed one that does his garage and apartment above. That is a bigger and more complicated system and was a few years ago but he has real numbers.
