I use a propane heater, but it's probably quite a bit colder up here in MN than where you are.

120v heaters aren't usually that effective unless you are in a small air tight space. My current garage has two 240v baseboard heaters and another wall mounted 240v quick heater for when a garage door has been opened. I used to use a propane heater in my previous garage. That is likely the lowest cost and quickest heat solution. Just ensure it is made specifically for indoor use.

This is the one I'm running. I usually run my propane heater for like 5 minutes to initially heat up the shop then run this guy on the thermostat. If I use it a lot, I can definitely see it on my electrical bill! I also work in sub freezing temps all winter too so idk if your shop gets that cold.
