    As long as they aren't dry or brittle they should be fine. But you may have some discoloration in some of the bundles, especially if they have been exposed too much sunlight. I personally wouldn't roof an entire house with 15yr old shingles, but they could be used for dog houses, sheds, or things such as that.

    If the garage didn't get too hot, the shingles may be OK. If they were heated during the summer, the tar strips may have melted together and you will not be able to pull them apart.
