If your garage was insulated well enough, it would be above freezing. What you suggest would depend on your garage's heat loss. Pex doesn't transfer much heat without a significant differential and it costs some to couple it to something. Your car will last longer if it's kept cold. If you just want to have a warmer start cover your windshield and have a timer start a lamp inside the car. Why heat the whole garage?
