This has nothing to do with Strava, in fact, you'd be better using Strava if your data is this shit to begin with. Elevation data from Garmins is often wank as it uses barometric pressure which requires consistent weather. Read more here
When you upload to Strava it actually makes your elevation data considerably more accurate as it looks at actually charted and confirmed data for where your route went and then weights the garmins data.
If your power data is off, then thats down to two things;
If you have a power meter, then you've been done and it's a shit power meter. Strava doesn't take the power figures from your recording device and change them.
If you are using estimated power, you haven't put your weight in correctly.
