Bedeutung
Fixing a car or motorbike.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'tiệm sửa xe' is often a place for men to gather, drink iced tea (trà đá), and discuss local news while waiting for their bikes. In the Old Quarter, repair shops are tiny and often spill out onto the narrow sidewalks, requiring pedestrians to weave around disassembled engines. During the flood season, 'sửa xe' becomes an emergency service as thousands of motorbikes get 'chết máy' (engine death) in high water. Mechanics in rural areas are often jacks-of-all-trades, fixing everything from motorbikes to water pumps and tractors.
Ask for the price first
Always ask 'Hết bao nhiêu tiền?' before the mechanic starts working to avoid being overcharged.
Watch out for 'luộc đồ'
In some untrustworthy shops, they might swap your good parts for old ones. Go to recommended shops.

Use 'xe máy' for clarity
While 'xe' is fine, saying 'xe máy' (motorbike) or 'xe hơi' (car) makes you sound more precise.
The 'Trà Đá' culture
If you are waiting for your bike to be fixed, it's very common to sit at a nearby stall and have a glass of iced tea.
