car repairs
Fixing your vehicle
Car repairs are the work done to fix or restore a malfunctioning vehicle.
The term covers everything from minor fixes like replacing brake pads to major work like rebuilding an engine.
Unlike routine maintenance (oil changes, tire rotations), repairs address something that's broken or wearing out: The car repairs cost more than the car was worth.
Often shortened to just repairs in automotive contexts.
