Shutting off the water valve in the garage is a problem for all. Our home was purchased new. The valve was installed laying on the ground. Turn it off-fat chance. The builder sent the plumber over and he raised the valve higher. Installed an elbow a riser another elbow and a bridge with the valve in it and then down to the waterline. It now works fine.
I am too old to be expected to play that game TWISTER. You can and perhaps should have better quality valves installed.
