Could a second separate wifi network, with a dedicated Access Point, only for my garage, be a solution ?

This is what would happen anyway. - because of all these standlone routers like the D7000 (xDSL to add more complexity) are not supporting any Mesh-like functionality (technically subsets of IEEE 802.11k/802.11r/802.11v). If adding any kind of an access point, it will be a standalone WiFi even if you are going to deploy the same wireless name (SSID) and security key (wireless password). You will never get seamless hand-over in both directions, clients will remain sticky, and they will remain connected to that very same radio until the signal will become very poor - or oyu are going to manually change or temporary disable and re-enable the WiFi on your e.g. mobile or computer again.

If you want more, you would have to change the D7000 (because Netgear does not offer a bridge mode AFAIK) to a xDSL modem (e.g. a DM200) plus some Mesh or the like capable router plus satellites, or a standalone non-WiFi router and two (or more if you need to add more coverage through the house - and always use a cable!) wireless access points, e.g. Netgear WAC5xx or WAX6xx, powerded over the network cables using a small PoE+ switch.
