mechanic shop

Vehicle repair business

A mechanic shop is a business where vehicles are repaired and maintained.

The term is slightly informal—*auto repair shop* or *garage* are more standard, and *mechanic's shop* more grammatical—but the phrase is common in casual speech: I need to take my car to the mechanic shop.
