I like to put them at standard switch height. That is the standard way around here, and most of the country I would guess.

They are easy to reach, and don't get blocked as easily by all the junk that ends up in a garage.

I agree. Work benches and shelving is commonly installed in residential garages. Placement of receptacles 42" to 48" aff. usually ensures the receptacle remains accessible.

This would mean I should put the receptacles in my garage on the ceiling.
