We considered and got quoted a number of options and the cheapest 2 car garage we were able to find was $170K. The excavation work and retaining wall work was very complex. Spitballing and without knowing I would say you are in for far more than $45K.

For reference the grade from the street to the back of the bunker probably would be a difference of 14 - 18 feet so we are talking a pretty serious slope.
Our slope is probably closer to 6-10 feet. Two companies quoted in that price range give or take abit depending on features.

It’s a good amount of money but definitely a hell of a lot of work as well.
