It's not likely you have GFI's on your outlets in the garage. You can have the outlets changed to install ones with a GFI. This is a good idea if you have an outlet near a plumbing fixture in your garage, such as if you added a sink, or if you use the garage outlets to send power via an extension cord to outside the garage (Christmas lights) or electric leaf blower, hedge trimmer, or leaf blower. Anytime you send electricity via an extension cord from the inside to the outside, the outlet you use should be one with a GFI.
Having said that, I just realized my wife, for the first time, added Christmas lights to the bushes in our front yard and used an extension cord. My next stop is at ACE Hardware to buy a GFI outlet!
