lol when my kid was like three or four he’d watch some British cartoon called “gecko’s garage “ or something, and they’d pronounce it “garridge.” So my kid started saying it that way.
One day I’m driving him somewhere and he asks me “daddy, why didn’t you park the car in the garridge?”
“It’s a garage.”
“Garridge!”
“No. Say ga-raage.”
“Garridge!”
“GARAGE! We’re not British!”
“No! Garridge…”.
“Ugh! Whatever!”
“We’re having a quarrel! :-D “
Cromulent response.

Gare idge is what OP was going for phonetically.
British accents are non-rhotic, so really it should be “ga-ridge”, not “gare-ridge”.

Carport.
Not objectively the same thing, tho. Potential intruders can peer into a carport, without even committing trespassing. If they want to see into your car-hole, they have to already commit themselves to breaking the law, before they even consider stealing your whip.

Also: “Roller Holder”
