Here's a qucik mockup of the garage more matching the house.That foundation, wow, what a mess.If it were mine I would have a structural engineer and maybe a soil engineer come out and give an opinion on it.It's sheer weight may have made it crack off like that, no rebar, etc...If it's was salvageable, maybe I would jackhammer away the broken parts and reset the walls on the good part. making the garage smaller.Disassembling and bracing one wall at a time and increasing the overhang of the roof.Then when done, gypsum board the entire thing inside and paint it ceiling white.If it were my personal garage I would Pink Panther insulate it and use a space heater for winter comfort.It could be a nice little gym for renter who works out.Also, I would have an electrician verify the electrical is hooked up correctly for garage (because the concrete seems amateurish I suspect the electrical may be too).
