Patrick Liaschi Marçal, a 34-year-old mechanic from Cornélio Procópio, northern Paraná, has lost his sight completely since the age of nine due to a retinal detachment. Despite this, he runs his own workshop, relying on touch, hearing, and technology to diagnose and repair car faults. He started the business during the COVID-19 pandemic after giving up his job as a musician. Patrick has developed methods to create mental maps of vehicle structures and uses accessible scanners to aid his work. Clients have praised his professionalism and quality of work.
