There is no height requirement in the NEC code book. You can pretty much put them where you want. I usually install them at 44" to the top of the box except where there is a work bench and then I install them 48" to the top of the box. That is just what I have found to be a good height. The choice is yours. Remember that all garage outlets must be GFCI protected.

Either the garage door would need to be cut and adjusted in height to conform to the floor, or the floor would need to be modified to conform to the door. If the door bottom is near level, the floor should be built up to meet the door. If the floor is level, there are serious issues with the door. Consult a garage door installer.
