I believe the OP is talking about a GFCI breaker in the garage circuit breaker panel. It appears the newer homes are using the GFCI breakers where the older homes (ours is 2013) has GFCI outlets in various locations in the house. Since a surge can come in via the water pipes, it appears to be reasonable that this could trip the GFCI breaker.
