Garage
I wouldn't bring the conduit through the basement wall below grade.
Even if I was going to do the under ground route, I would come through the "ladder" or rim joist and drop down and underground on the outside wall of the home. Bringing the conduit through below grade would not meet code here and could lead to water problems later on.
You could try to cut the concrete between the garage and dig down to the recommended depth. It will be deeper if you will use the space to park a car in or drive over it.
Another option is to make the garage the main panel then run power into the home which would become the sub panel. Depending on where and how the power comes on to your property, this could be an option.
How wide is this area that you need to cross to get into the garage?
