Siemens bought Gould so a Siemens panel should work.
The key to breaker compatibility is if it fits correctly into the buss bars in the electric panel.
Some Siemens may work but remember you are responsible for any fire or lives lost that may occur from using the wrong breaker. Get Gould breakers and you will then know they are safe. Can't find Gould breakers then replace the entire service panel. That is what I would do.
Only a Square D designed breaker can be installed in a Square D manufactured panel.
Depending on how many breakers you have in your exisiting panel if you only have a old 6 or 8 circuit panel then I would suggest a new panel, In the newer building world where you have a 20 or 30 circuit panel then I would suggest a sub panel.

There are many ways one can install ge circuit breakers. One can install ge circuit breakers by turning off the power supply, removing the panel cover, testing it for power, and installing it by alining the breaker with the unused panel space.
Circuit breakers can be found in any circuit breaker panel. New circuit breakers can be bought at any shop that sells parts for installing or repairing electrical wiring circuits.

As long as the breakers are made to fit the box, there shouldn't be a problem. you can only use breakers listed for the panel, there should be a label on the panel door. It will list all of the breakers approved for use in that panel. If you don't see the breaker by manufacturer name listed, then it should not be used. Lots of brands will interchange, but they have to be listed to be approved.
If your circuit breakers are in the garage, they would be in a electrical panel (a metal box mounted on a (usually) outside wall, with the electric meter on the outside. The circuit breakers can be either just below the meter on the outside on opposite it inside the garage. It would usually be very close to where the electric connection to the house is. The electrical panel and breakers are not necessarily in the garage.
