Well, if you have a non-level lot you can often built a repair bay with the
entry of the garage some 6 feet higher than the back.  This means that the
"pit" can easily be vented to the outside and no fan is necessary.

My parents purchased a house with a garage contructed in this manner (IOW it
had a "built in" pit).   They never exploited this but  it's still a good
idea for those who DYI for their cars, etc.
