mechanical repairs
Engine work done
Mechanical repairs are the fixing of machines or their moving parts—engines, transmissions, pumps, or any device with components that work together through physical motion.
The term distinguishes hands-on repair work from electrical or software troubleshooting: The warranty covers mechanical repairs but not body damage.
A shop specializing in mechanical repairs typically handles vehicles, appliances, or industrial equipment.
