OT. What’s the going rate for adding a new circuit from the panel? Let’s say the circuit ended with an external outlet outside of the garage and to an outlet inside the garage.

Depends heavily on how hard it is to get through the wall.

Also adding a new circuit to a panel is different than extending one from inside

Just stacco on wood frame. It’s adding a new circuit from the panel; might need to add a circuit breaker for the circuit. The wire can go through crawl space or over in attic.

$80-140/hr, depending on market (residential electrical work).

For one exterior GFCI receptacle in a bell box with a weatherproof in-use cover and one GFCI receptacle in a plastic box with 50’ of 14/2 NM-B cable, I would charge you $650.

I don’t do the work myself.

If you run the wire yourself would only be a couple hours of labor
