Does insulation alone warm a space up?

No, all that insulation does is slow the transfer of heat from one place to another.
If a room is heated to 20 degrees and the outside is 5 degrees, the insulation will reduce the rate at which heat is being lost.
If the room is at 5 degrees and the outside is at 5 degrees, insulation will not achieve anything.
Any heat generated inside the garage by heaters, lights, body heat etc., will be retained longer if it's insulated.
