I misunderstood where your dryer plug is, when you said on other side of garage I was visualizing 15 to 20 feet away. If those are GE-Homeline style breakers ( photo fuzzy ) , replacing with thins might be cheaper than the quad style. Lowes sales the GE Qline 30 & 50 dbl's for less than $10 ea. Thru the years the GE style "thins " gave me very little trouble and I' ve installed a many on the job , when I worked:B

With that many normal sized breakers, it may be less expensive to tandem four of them into 2 slots and then install a standard 50 double pole breaker. Have you pulled a breaker to see if they will support tandems?
I think y'all are saying the same thing... You mean replace four single-wides with two tandems, and that frees up a double-spot for an inexpensive double-wide 50A.
It looks like from HomeDepot a tandem 20A is around $10, a tandem 15A is around $8, and a double-50A is also around $10. The Siemens quad from Amazon is about $30 so it looks more or less like a price wash....
Oh, but look, the Siemen's 20/5050/20 version (as opposed to 15/5050/15) is available for $23... Woot! Gonna cancel the $30 15/5050/15 and order a 20/5050/20 since I have 20A neighbor pairs also available...
