mom60, Have your co-worker check to have a door cut in as suggested. If there is an existing window in the garage, it might be easier for the contractor to pull the window, and enlarge the existing opening for the new door. She might get lucky, if the window height and width is within the door rough opening parameters, it might minimize framing, the existing header above the window may even be utilized.

If I'm not mistaken, current code requires an egress door as well as the overhead even if the garage is not attached to the main house.
