Remove pillars at entrance. You can borrow my SDS drill if you want.

Thanks for the offer, but unfortunately the front piers are hefty and formed in steel reinforced brickwork, but since they are a major structural element of the garage holding the roof up, removing them or reducing their designed cross sectional area is probably not going to be a good idea.

Cut off excessive brickwork with diamond blade cutter. Raw bolt thick 90 degree steel reinforcement angle plate to removed section, ensure top supports any roof structure. Garage roofs aren't that heavy anyway.

Thanks Robinessex, but how can I know what is `excessive brickwork' and what has been designed and built the way it has for stability /load bearing reasons?
Don't really want to cut the piers away, only to find the side walls start wobbling, every time the wind blows too hard, or the garage door is shut hard. Scraping the car is one thing, having the garage collapse on it is something else.
