Just a bit more add on.  Someone else suggested hiring the job out.  I
agree if you have never layed block before.  It is a tiring,
frustrating job for an amatuer and very difficult to do well the first
time (or even the 5th or 6th in my case).
The first layer of block -should- be locked to the slab in some
fashion, pinned with rebar is the usual every so many blocks (building
dept again).  Then every so many cores must be filled.  Again building
department.  That is all to ensure the kneewall, slab, and garage
remain  connected.
I can't tell what your expertise is in building so if you have done it,
just ignore this post.
