Yes, the wall is made of blocks. If it was solid concrete then the car would have been much more damaged so this is a bad idea. To repair the wall will probaly cost $20, the car is going to be about $2000.

My recommendation are as follow:
1/ Raze the subpar garage rebuild properly using seismic construction.
