I wouldn't hang 1/4 drywall on your ceiling for 100$ an hour but I'd pay to watch. I really can't understand 1/4 on a ceiling, what purpose does it serve? You could put cheaper shit up there if you were just holding up insulation.
If you are getting materials you can expect to pay 40.00 an hour for labor if you were hiring me, a lot of this depends on the contractors in your area.

two guys could do that in 3 hours tops if they had a lot of experience
have any guess why 1/4? I do not understand, the humidity in this area wouldn't allow that to even stay up unless the truces were packed in a foot apart.

not sure what you use but wouldn't thinner be better?
also why would you drywall the ceiling in your garage? really pointless, plus it will turn black from yoru car fumes over time i imagine

I have no idea where you live and how that reflects your building codes and how they can be bent to accommodate a customer, around here I would almost refuse to hang anything but 3/4. If I knew the person or trusted his opinion I'd hang 1/2, it's probably not that big of deal.
As far as one quarter, humidity is a bitch here and it would sag between truces if you didn't have climate control inside your garage. Before long the screws wouldn't be holding.
During the summer we have nearly 100% humidity for months on end, this could be avoided by mudding and tapping but you either plan to do that yourself or don't want it done at all.
All you need is a trip to Lowe's, rent a jack and find a friend with a drill, get a couple joints and six pack and a 3$ sheet rock saw and a 3 dollar utility knife, look it up on google.
I'd seriously charge you probably 350$ being nice and 500$ if not and it would take me and a friend 2-3 hours.
Go talk to someone at Lowe's for a quick opinion or go to a local lumber yard.

The garage is being insulated. I have done the walls with R13 and 1/2" sheetrock. The cieling needs to be done, and I have not got the patience of help to do it. It's in the south where humidity can reach 100 in the summer... The boards in the cieling area run the span of the garage and are 36" apart.
When It's finished, it will be fully sheetrocked and insulated with air conditioning so that I will have a place to do some of my hobbies since I just got kicked out of the Guest bedroom. I was using it as a place to build stuff, rc modeling, experiments, etc but the wife says its time I move to the garage..
Anyway, I just wanna hang sheetrock so it can be inuslated. Not worried about mudding and painting atm. I will do that when I decide to sell the house....

Too many push pins in the carpet and too many spilled bottles of CA glue.

Sounds like a fun house 
sheet rock is so cheap I would go with 1/2. You know your shit so you can make up your own mind, a lot times people have no idea about any of this stuff and get ripped off easily.
