Need more info. Is this a dedicated to the garage meter? or is it the house meter you are referring to?
How big of a garage? Detached or attached?

Generally, you cannot just come off the meter. If you have a disconnect outside you would need a dual disconnect, one feeding the house, one supplying the garage. I'm betting its a 200 amp or less service, and you don't often find a 200 amp meter socket that is designed with double taps, and double tapping of a meter, or anything else for that matter, unless it is approved for dual taps, is not to code.
Do you have just a meter outside? or do you also have a service disconnect switch outside? if you have the disconnect, is it in the same enclosure with the meter or are they separate boxes connected together with a ******?
