Bedeutung
To fix a vehicle that is broken or not working properly.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Car repair is often a communal activity. If you are fixing your car on the street, neighbors will likely stop by to offer advice or tools. There are specific neighborhoods like 'Chiragh Bargh' that are famous for car parts and repair shops. It's a chaotic, vibrant hub of 'tamir kardan'. In Afghanistan, the word 'moshīn' is also used, but 'motor' is very common for car. So you might hear 'motor tamir kardan'. Tajik Persian uses more Russian loanwords for car parts, but 'tamir kardan' remains the standard for the act of fixing.
Use 'Dorost Kardan'
If you forget 'tamir kardan', just use 'dorost kardan'. It's the Swiss Army knife of Persian verbs for 'fixing' anything.
The 'Ra' Particle
Don't forget to add 'ra' (or -o) after 'mashin' if you are talking about a specific car.

Patience is Key
In Iran, car repairs often take longer than promised. It's part of the 'Inshallah' culture!
