Of course I'll have to buy more of them since they won't cover the whole area.

I would keep the exra existing shingles for repair and buy all new for
the garage.

in case your home roof needs repairs you will still have matching
shingles.

Except the shingles on the roof will be faded and weathered, while the
spares will not.
and the entire detached garage will look great..

provided you have the extra bucks for all new shingles its the best
way to go
Agreed - except 9 packs of shingles is a lot to waste. That's 300
square feet!!
