How do you say that? Hello eveybody, I have a question: last time I had to translate a phrase but I don't know if I am thinking of it in a right way, so before writing this sentence I'd like to explain it: In general, when you don't take your car to the mechanic after a while your car broke up, so if I would regret to not take the car to the mechanic after it breaks up, how could I put the following sentence? If I hadn't done repairing my car (by the mechanic), I couldn't have reached work today. Is this phrase (and all the writing) correct? Thanks in advance! Marco

How do you say that?

Hello eveybody,

I have a question: last time I had to translate a phrase but I don't know if I am thinking of it in a right way, so before writing this sentence I'd like to explain it:

In general, when you don't take your car to the mechanic after a while your car broke up, so if I would regret to not take the car to the mechanic after it breaks up, how could I put the following sentence?

If I hadn't had my card fixed up/repaired by the mechanic, I couldn't("wouldn't" is possible too) have reached work today.

Is this phrase (and all the writing) correct?

Thanks in advance!
Marco
