My understanding is that normal smoke detectors aren''t listed for use in garages, so a heat detector is required. And then depending on what you consider the ambient garage ceiling temperature range to be (how hot a part of the state the building is in), it may be difficult to find a heat detector listed for the ambient temperature.
