I paid Mike Scott Plumbing about $60 each to replace my plastic toilet valves with metal, quarter turn valves. Now, I can maintain my toilets without the fear of the plastic valve leaking.
If you don't want to turn off the plastic valve, you can turn off the water to the entire house in the garage. Note, that if you do use the plastic toilet valve, it will probably be OK, but if it leaks, you will need to shut off the water to the entire house.
