A very big window AC unit, a ceiling fan, and a well placed box fan can do wonders. I only run this set up when I'm in the garage, but it does alright as far as cooling the work space that I am in.
I'm running an 18000btu(1.5ton) 220v window unit in my oversized 2 car. Granted, we aren't hitting 105 here yet, but 98 degrees with 85% humidity gives you a heat index of 105 and higher. If I run the A/C 24/7 it'll keep the garage close to 75 degrees, but will run the electric bill through the roof, and that's without an insulated ceiling, 1 uninsulated wall and an uninsulated garage door.
You could likely pick up a unit the size of mine for roughly the cost of a new swamp cooler, so long as you have easy access to a wall you can cut out, and the ability to add a 220v outlet.
