No offense to anyone, but you can't do any real harm by adding insulationAs suggested however, it may not show any noticible benefitMost especially there is little you can do with a garage door, and not at all knowing in which compass direction the house faces, it may all be a moot point Unless at some point you plan to spend time in the garage, work shop, play area, etc., live in a climate that gets extremes that disallow time in the garage, store items in the garage subject to damage from extremes, have no SUN shining on any part of the garage, have no upstairs room above, or attic crawl space above already properly insulated, your effort and expense may both show negligible results It's pretty much a personal choice, and not at all cost prohibitive if you add insulation nowHopefully the walls butting the interior have been well insulated, or at the same R value as the house exterior walls
