The Influencer Showed in Video the Moment When the Wall Collapsed on His Land Rover and Announced the Creation of a Channel with the Mechanic
The automotive influencer Thiago Tcar recorded an unexpected incident in his routine last Friday (4): the wall of a construction site next to the mechanic’s shop Arnaldo collapsed, hitting two vehicles — including his Land Rover Evoque.
The accident occurred in the early hours of the morning when workers were demolishing the property next to the shop.
Unexpected Collapse and Total Damage
As Tcar showed, the impact completely destroyed his SUV and another customer’s car. “My EV was there, it was totaled. It hit other cars too, man. It was bad,” the influencer stated when he arrived at the scene.

Arnaldo, the shop owner, confirmed that the wall fell around 6 a.m., at which time he was alerted by an employee about the collapse.
In the video, both inspected the damage and verified that the Evoque and a Land Rover Discovery, belonging to a customer, were the most affected. “Here it’s totaled. This is totaled. That one over there is totaled too,” Arnaldo said, pointing to the cars covered in debris.
Despite the seriousness, no one was injured. “The important thing is this. No one got hurt. The rest we can deal with,” Thiago commented.
Insurance Situation and Losses
During the conversation, Thiago asked about the vehicles’ insurance and heard from the mechanic that the shop is covered. “Arnaldo is a responsible guy, I’ve known him for 20 years. If he didn’t have insurance, he would pay out of pocket,” the influencer stated.
He emphasized that, although the loss is significant, the most important thing was to avoid injuries. “There’s insurance, so onwards and upwards,” he concluded.
Besides Thiago’s Evoque, the other car that was hit was ready to be delivered to the customer after a complete revision, including timing belt replacement, brakes, suspension, and alignment. “The car was ready for him to take today,” lamented Arnaldo.
The building’s structure was also compromised, requiring emergency shoring. “This place is going to be closed off. It’s dangerous; they’re going to shore everything up,” the mechanic explained.
Idea to Turn Loss into Digital Project
Despite the loss, Thiago decided to turn the situation into something positive. During the recording, he proposed creating a YouTube channel for Arnaldo, highlighting the mechanic’s charisma and popularity on social media.
“Every time a problem happens, I think about how to turn it into something good. The audience liked you, Arnaldo. Let’s create a channel for you to showcase the day-to-day at the shop,” the influencer suggested.
Arnaldo accepted the proposal, and they agreed that the new channel would feature weekly videos with stories, repairs, and daily situations from the shop. “Three videos a week. Problems here are abundant,” joked the mechanic. The channel’s name was yet to be decided, with suggestions like “Arnaldo’s Pit Stop”.
An Air of Humor and Resilience After the Incident
Amid the debris and damaged cars, Thiago and Arnaldo kept their good humor, reinforcing their partnership and gratitude that no one was injured.
In a light-hearted tone, they even found a sign with the phrase “Subscribe to the channel, leave a like” among the rubble, which became a symbol of the new beginning.
Before ending the video, Thiago reaffirmed that he would follow the reconstruction process of the shop and help his friend start the digital journey. “We’re going to turn the tide. Monday it starts. The audience asked for it; there will be updates every day,” he promised.
Thus, the episode that began as a difficult moment transformed into an opportunity. Between material loss and solidarity, the influencer and the mechanic decided to rebuild not only the physical space but also a new story — this time, in front of the cameras with thousands of followers watching.
