I'm cheap as hell...If it will still move reliably enough under its own power to get me to an auto parts store and back I go to a store that will read the codes for free (Autozone, Oriley, etc.) and have them do a read.
I know what you mean about working on cars in the winter and radiators being ineffective...My garage is not insulated on three sides & roof, there is no ceiling and the roof is ~2 stories at peak....All the heat goes up well above my head and stays there/leaks out. If my family and I continue to live here for more winters I'm thinking about buying 8'x4'x2" sheets of styrofoam to insulate the walls and make a crude false ceiling to trap the heat....
If yours is a 2 car or 1.5 car garage parking at an angle so you can walk past the front may be a good option.
