Well I know a lot of women who complain that their boyfriends or husbands have a love that
is not them, Can you imagine that? Because their husbands or boyfriends claim that their
first love is their car. Can you believe that? Yes it's true, so well if you love your car
that much that you claim that your car is your first love, then you've come to the right
place. Coz I have for you some English phrases for car owners.
Welcome once again to this lesson. My name is Rima and yes I have for you, Phrases which
car owners should know and should use, so a car owner is definitely very possessive
and very attached to his or her car. So I have for you certain phrases that you must
know if you own an automobile or a car. The first one on my list is, Car payments. Now
car payments actually mean monthly payments that you need to pay towards your car. Now
imagine that while buying your car you've taken a car loan from the bank. Now that means
that every month you will have to pay out a car payment to the bank until your loan
has been paid off. So car payments mean monthly payments to the bank. Now if you love your
car make sure that you actually give out your car payments on time, because otherwise you
could actually default in them and the bank could take away your beloved car. I'm sure
you don't want that to happen right?
Moving on I have for you Car insurance. Now car insurance needs to be bought from the
car insurance company, so that in case of emergency or in case of an accident or any
damage to the car, you actually get the insurance company to pay you to cover all the cost of
the damage, so car insurance is definitely a wise thing to do and you must make sure
that you've bought car insurance from the insurance company. So car insurance means
insurance or an insurance policy for the car. And the next one, now trust me if you have
an expensive car or very high end car. This is going to burn a hole in your pocket, so
automotive taxes. Now these are taxes that you need to pay on buying your car, so basically
taxes to be paid while buying or purchasing your car. So most of these like all three
of these almost are financial terms related to cars that car owners must absolutely be
aware of.
Moving on I have for you, parking garage. A commonly used term and if your'e a car owner,
you know exactly how important it is to have a proper safe designated parking garage for
your beloved car. And a lot of people actually spend a lot of money trying to secure a proper
parking space for their car, so a parking garage is a covered or uncovered space to
park your car. So that's all about parking garage and moving on there are certain terms
that a car owner must know, when he or she takes their car to the gas station. Now let
me tell you, what gas in this context means. It does not mean all the gases that your probably
aware of, you know the ones that compose the air, let's say oxygen or nitrogen or carbon
dioxide. It actually means gasoline. So gas is a short form for gasoline. Now gasoline
is actually car fuel, the fuel on which your car runs, so if you take your car to the gas
station there are certain terms and phrases that you need to be aware of, The first one
being to pump the gas. Which means to pump the gasoline or to fill fuel in the car. So
when you reach the gas station, you could actually request the attendant to pump the
gas. Which means to fill fuel in your car. Now this is very important because without
this I don't see your car going anywhere, so that's all about pumping the gas or filling
the fuel in your car. Moving on grade of gas or gasoline, which means type of fuel for your car. Now different cars run on different
types of fuels and there are different types of fuels available at the gas station. Some
fuels are classified in the category of being regular, the others are classified in the
category of being super or advanced, so you can actually make a decision as to which kind
of fuel you want for your car and beware that the cost varies from fuel to fuel. So once
you've made your decision on the grade of gas or type of fuel then all you need to do
is request the attendant to pump the gas.
Moving on Gas tank. So a gas tank is basically the tank in your car, which holds the gasoline
or the fuel on which your car runs, so you could also request the attendant at the gas
station by saying, Can you fill the gas tank to its capacity? Which means, Can you fill
the gas tank completely so that you don't have to worry about fuel for a few days. So
gas tank is the place in your car or the tank in your car, which holds the fuel. Now these
are the phrases which will be very useful if you're visiting a gas station along with
your car and moving on I have for you certain phrases or terms, which you need to be aware
of if you own a car and you wish to maintain your car in the best of its condition. So
these terms will be handy and will be useful when you actually take your car to the service
station for a regular servicing. The first one that I have on my list is, Oil change.
Now there are lot of oils and fluids, which are required to keep your car running in good
condition. They could be the brake oil, the engine oil. And what you need to do is you
need to regularly get these oils changed, so that your car keeps running in the best
condition. So oil change is the process of changing oils or fluids in your car. Now this
is a necessary process that you really need to undergo each time you take your car for
servicing.
Moving on Air pressure. Now when we say, Air pressure with respect to cars. It has nothing
to do with the pressure of the air that your breathing. It refers to the pressure of the
tires of the car, so the pressure in each tire of the car needs to be checked regularly
and maintained at a particular number. This will help the car run to the best of its capacity.
So air pressure refers to the pressure in the car tires. Now the next term, which will
have you running to a car garage or a servicing station, is, getting a flat. That means one
of the tires of your car has actually become flattened or has been punctured and it needs
to be changed, so getting a flat means getting a puncture in a Tyre, so obviously when something
like that happens you’re driving and your car Tyre gets punctured. The next thing that
you need to have ready and available is a spare. So moving on having a spare means having
a spare Tyre to change in case of a puncture. So well these two are very, very simple getting
a flat and having a spare.
Moving on something that people dread doing if they love their car, Body work. Now imagine
if the outer body of your car has been damaged because of an accident or some sort of impact
then you need to get some body work as in repair work done to your car. So body work
stands for repairing the outer body of the car. The next one is very, very related to
body work, it’s a dent. Now a dent means an indention or an impact or a place on the
body of your car, where the metal has been impacted or damaged. This could happen because
of two cars colliding with each other, an accident or an object falling on your car.
So a dent is basically damage to the metal of the outer body of the car and yes when
you take your car for body work. Definitely dents are going to be repaired and taken care
of, so dents mean damage to the body of the car.
Moving on sometimes all of us get unlucky with our cars and in the middle of a journey,
the car just stops. Now when something like that happens to your beloved car remember
you need to remember the number of the towing vehicle. You can call the towing station request
for a vehicle that can come and tow your car to the garage, so towing actually means pulling
or dragging your car to the service station or to the garage.
So well these were all the phrases in English that you can use as a car owner. You know
phrases that you need to know be aware of and keep handy. So I'm sure if you really
