These spiders keep appearing in my garage and I want to confirm what type of spider they are and if I should be concerned about them being poisonous.

Looks like it might be a Giant House Spider or something closely related to that. My guess would be harmless.
This is one of the fishing spiders in the genus Dolomedes. I think it’s a dark fishing spider, D. tenebrosus. It’s harmless and a fairly calm, docile spider.
