Convert 2 garage bays to 1 larger one?

Convert 2 garage bays to 1 larger one?

My wife and I both have wide vehicles . There is plenty of space inside the bays of our garage once we get in, but navigating the center post between the two rightmost bays requires 100% attention when entering, and the slightest distraction on the way in and I may scrape my left fender of my big SUV.

We envision one large door replacing the two right ones. Looking at the construction photo it's clearly load bearing. Has anyone done this before? What was the end cost? (We are in New Jersey.) Any pitfalls I should look out for? I know I will need an engineer.

I'd love the community's thoughts. Anticipating the 'get driving lessons' comments.... but asking anyhow.
