Well, you'll need water lines and a vent, assuming they're not some kind of self contained thing.
Moving them is easy.. Making then function, that would be the tough part

yeah, water lines and vent are what make me concern.
can I just use some pipe to extend the water lines and those silver tube on range hood to extend the vent above ground?
Your biggest problem may be running the drain line. I assume that the garage has a slab floor. You will likely have to demo the slab to move the DWV piping then run a new vent pipe through the roof. Gas, electrical, and supply plumbing don't have to observe gravity so can usually be routed one way or another. The dryer venting could also be a challenge if the new location isn't at an exterior wall.
Pretty sure you're not suppose to do this unlicensed..
But if it's a great distance off, that's alot of pipe to line the wall
The dryer might be a much easier move than the washer. Wires and vents are far easier than plumbing and drains.
Could you stand having them 10 feet apart, and/or would it open up an appropriate space for the car door?

do it texas style and just put them on your back porch
Get a smaller car?
Or build a shelf high enough that the car door can open under it, put the appliances on top. Extension cables probably wouldn't need to be anywhere as long. This would work best if they are front-loaders.
For a job like you are describing, I would hire someone for that.
Personally, I would be worried that I do not get everything hooked up properly and I start having electrical shorts or (even worse) have water leaking somewhere or not flowing properly. Having water build up in walls or around wood can easily lead to a big issue. Wood can be wet and dry off but continually wet wood rots and it welcomes insects and termites.
Can I just leave all the pipe and hose on the floor so that I dont need to worry about the slab...or they must be hide underground?
Anyone have experience with this?
My garage is so narrow that it is almost impossible to open passenger door of my car after parked in the garage because the washing machine and dryer are in the way
So this is what I am planning to doMoreShow Image(http://i.imgur.com/S3A24Z5.png)
Is it something that I can do with a friend or two, or is it something I better hire professional to do it?

You live in San Francisco, there should be an app for this.
