Cost will be cheaper long term to run my own line to avoid paying the monthly service fee for a second service.

If it's a reliability issue due to the length... then I'll get another service. I want it to be usable and reliable.

To be clear, I’m not an electrician. It sounds like the garage is essentially going to be a shop. 100 amp May be sufficient. Don’t know what the voltage drop at 275 feet will be. You said you don’t know what your future needs will be. It would be hard to max out a 200 A service.

Good luck.
