I've done this only twice and both were smaller than 3 car, but the program is the same, provided you have adequate space.

If there is sufficient room next to one of the "sides" of the garage, you can sawzall out the "ends" to eliminate sheer strength of the building. At that point you can basically push it over and cut it up. You'll need adjacent space equivalent to the wall height + eave overhang.

You'll eat blades going through asphalt roofing and the roofing pieces will be heavy - but all the work will be on the ground as opposed to 8-15 feet above ground.

This was less than a full day job with 1 and 1.5 car garages for 4 guys by hand. But for a large 3 car, a small skidsteer loader or mini trackhoe is the best option, and makes it a one man show.

And +1 for MW about calling for a utility locate if there is even the slightest question about what's in the area.
