A concrete wall ASTM C-90 reinforced with #5 rebars @ 24" o.c for seismic conditions as you have in Colombia your car would not be able to penetrate or break the wall. My recommendation are as follow:
1/ Raze the subpar garage rebuild properly using seismic construction. No shortcuts.
2/ Before engaging car engage brain.
3/ Get a manual car.
4/ Remedial driving course.
5/ Buy the book; Parking for Dummies 3rd Edition.
6/ Take two aspirins.
7/ Write a big check for the repair shop. Muchos pesos!
