How to use 修车
修车 is a verb-object phrase used for fixing cars, bikes, motorbikes and similar vehicles. You often see it on shop signs or hear it in daily talk about car trouble. Example: 我的车坏了，得去修车。(Wǒ de chē huài le, děi qù xiūchē.) My car broke down, I need to get it repaired.
修 (xiū) means to fix or repair, and 车 (chē) means a vehicle. Picture 车 as a simple drawing of a cart seen from above, and you are fixing it, so 修车 is to repair a vehicle.
Common mistake: Learners sometimes write 修 without the short vertical stroke between 亻 and the right side, or mix it up with 條/条. Also, 修车 does not mean to drive; that is 开车 (kāichē).
