Mike spake thus:

Not sure what a dipstick heater is

As long as you don't know the meaning of "plug my car in in the morning
so I can start it", then you don't need to know this (it's heated
dipstick to make your crankcase oil thin enough to turn your engine over).

and while I have no plans to add the
garage to the conditioned space I was a little annoyed to see that the
builder sheetrocked without insulating. I'd have thought if he did not
want to insulate at least it would have been left unfinished to give
the owner the option.

You'd think, wouldn't you?

If you really wanted to insulate, you could do it without too much
grief, I'd think, by punching holes in each space between studs at the
top, blowing in insulation, then patching the holes, which isn't too bad
an ordeal.
