I hate backglasses anywhere that isn't climate controlled but beyond that one issue we discovered with machines in the garage in the Winter is playfield plastics seem to break pretty easy. We don't have a gameroom in the garage but years ago when we first got into the hobby I sold machines all year cycling through machines we didn't want as we added others to our collection. Anyway when people would come to buy machines & test play them we kept ending up with broken plastics in the machines.
Over the past 5 or 6 years we just totally quit selling during the Winter because of that and other issues with machines in the cold.
Just my 2 cents on playing cold machines.
