That's the way to look at it. I'd approach the builder and question the length of the garage, and their description of "2 car". Again, though, the responsibility is with the buyer and you should always question every aspect of a purchase before signing. If you were buying a car, wouldn't you make sure it didn't have frame damage or hidden issues first? You'd check it out with a fine tooth comb. A home is a huge investment, and in todays market a builder will save anyplace they can on materials. Does your builder have available spec homes to view? If they do, send a friend to look, and have them measure a couple of homes, and see if there are any variances. If so, you've strengthened a case that at this point is lacking real muscle.
Is the garage shorter on the side with the water heater I assume? Best wishes with this, and a hard lesson to learn but it could be much worse.
