Secondly, if you are suggesting that he use UF for a service entrance,

read
NEC 340.12
(it shall not be used as a service entrance cable)


A feeder to a garage is not a service entrance as defined in the NEC.



Where's this stated in the NEC2005?


Article 100, Definitions

"Service. The conductors and equipment for delivering electric energy from the
serving utility to the wiring system of the premises served."

"Feeder. All circuit conductors between the service equipment ... and the
final branch circuit overcurrent device."

What the OP has is a feeder, not a service.
