Luiz's Garage, also known as "Mecânico", is a mechanic place that appears in Rio and Rio 2. It contains multiple set of tools and is most likely Luiz's home. It is located in the Santa Teresa Neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro.
Role[]
Rio[]
When Blu and Jewel are led to the garage by Rafael, Nico and Pedro, they meet Luiz. Rafael managed to convince him to take the chain holding the two macaws off, despite his disliking of Jewel's insults. The plan involves using a table saw to cut the chain. The plan fails when Luiz slips on his own drool while pushing the two towards the saw, causing the two to panic, which sends them flying (or at least, trying to) around the room. Luiz unintentionally catches the chain in his mouth, causing his drool to lubricate the cuffs, setting the birds free. Luiz and Blu then watch Jewel, but Blu is depressed because he has to leave. Moments later, it paves the way for Blu and Jewel's argument, causing the two of them to abandon each other.
Rio 2[]
Rafael, Pedro and Nico use the garage to hold auditions for the Carnival show. When Kipo entered, Luiz greeted him, but he slipped on his drool and crashed, and Luiz told him to walk it off. During the auditions, they listened to Eva's singing, which was so terrible that the glass bottles and light bulbs shattered. Pedro and Nico were disgusted, but Rafael immediately congratulated her. As she left, Blu flew in on them. They assumed he wanted to audition, but that was not the purpose of his visit. Blu told them that he and his family were going to the Amazon. The group then headed to the garage's roof to talk, where they ended up scaring Blu with what they knew of the Amazon. But Blu decided to go anyway because Rafael said to him to remember "happy wife, happy life". But Pedro said he was not going to come back because of the dangers as he flew off.
