Need Advice Installing An Entrance Door

Hi folks, Being a painter, I was a dummy and decided to venture off into a carpenter's world and replace an old garage entrance door (from the 50's) with a pre-hung door. Well.....as you can imagine, it wasn't so easy; the studs surrounding the door are off-vertical by about 1 and the door, even if it's pre-hung...is not stable. I have no clue how to go about tru-up the door, shim it, and bolt it in. There's a lot of space between the door and studs (oh between 1/2 and 1 - depending upon the location). Is there anybody out there who coule provide a good no-hassle fool-proof process for going about solving the issue? (perhaps hire a carpenter?). Any comments are most welcome. Pauly
