In 1996 he earned the nickname The Red Baron after he gave five players and one coach the red card in a 2. deild karla match between Dalvík and Grótta.[5] As a result, the match was abandoned due to Grótta having too few players left on the pitch.[6] On June 9, 2008, he handed out five red cards in a Úrvalsdeild karla match between Grindavík and Fram.[7][5] After handing out only one red card during the 2007,[8] he set a league record on June 30, 2008 when he handed out his 9th red card to a player on the season.[9]
Garðar retired from refereeing in May 2016.[10] Shortly after, he was diagnosed with the Parkinson's disease.[11]
