This is a more complex answer than can be answered here. There may be an argument for adverse possession to be made, but it is impossible to say based on the facts here. I would suggest consulting with an attorney right away.

You should check with an attorney. The basic theory would be "adverse possession", but there are a number of elements (15 years + of open, notorious, hostile exclusive use).
Often these are resolved by giving the encroacher (you) an easement to maintain the garage where it is until it is destroyed.
