I have converted 1/2 my garage into a spare room, its not a bad idea at all.

Good points:
Probably has water/drainage available
No roofing worries
Easy to add to
If make mistakes or imperfections, its the garage....
Isolated

You can add a few walls a s a shell, and keep some of the garage as garage.

Make sure you keep the self closing fire door into the house in tact--
build
Build all walls up to the ceiling, the heavier the sheetrock, the better sound& fire protection.
You may want to "fur" the floor up higher on sleepers rather than keep concrete
PM me if you have any technical questions,
