Compressor

Here's something to try.
Plug the compressor into your laundry outlet. Usually the laundry outlet is a 20Amp circuit. IF the compressor trips that breaker I would return the compressor.
If it doesn't trip the breaker, your garage breaker may be bad/weak.
What yo udidn't mention was lighting in the garage. Are the lights on the same circuit? What kind and how many lights? Attached or detached garage?
Just a few thoughts.
