They (allegedly) can be deterred by strong scents such as citronella or Jeyes fluid. They are cheap so worth a try.
The only time we had badger trouble was in my father in law’s old brick side extension used for storage. He found the door forced open and a sleeping badger under the work bench. He phoned RSPCA and they advised leaving well alone as they can be dangerous if cornered. He left the door open and it was gone when he checked later. He cleared out stored bird food that maybe attracted the badger and it never returned.
Have you anything in the garage that may attract them? Wild animals making the effort to attack fixtures are usually after food or a mate.
