It's all possible, for enough money. 120A probably isn't enough though, as you will want at least 60A to the garage. If it already has that, you might be good. If you don't, you are probably looking at at least $1000, probably more like 2k if you need a new garage panel, and it is overhead powered from the house.
You can check the main breaker on your house and see if you upgraded to 120A or 200A. Wait, is the garage attached? If so it might not be a huge deal and all run off the same panel.
