Ah, it's already drywalled? They make "blow in" stuff - you'd just pour it in at the top, or they cut in holes in the drywall and pump in stuff that looks like crumbled up cardboard fibers or white fluffy fiberglass-type stuff.
Other than that, if it is already insulated and you are still getting super-cold, you can actually buy insulated garage doors, they are made like those hollow-core interior doors, and filled with styrofoam. You could also get the 1" thick styrofoam board stuff and tack that to the garage door panels, it *might* work at least a little bit.
Make sure your gaskets are good and the door is sealing well along the bottom, and maybe use spray-foam around the sides of the door next to the rail to seal it that way.
Other than that, get yourself a nice propane heater - mine just screws onto a standard gas grill tank. I have the small one, it takes a little while but it will warm the place a bit. I'd recommend getting the dual-panel larger size. If you want something permanent, I'd get a wall or ceiling mounted gas "infrared" style heater. Not the "blue flame" one, but the infrared style - they are a little more efficient. I put one in my finished basement, one medium size one heats up the whole place even on low setting. You'd just have to plumb it into your house's gas line - no big deal, but if you don't know what you are doing, by all means HIRE someone to do it!
