When talking about places where cars are kept, the Chinese word is 车库 (chēkù). This literally combines 车 (chē), meaning 'car' or 'vehicle', with 库 (kù), which means 'warehouse' or 'depot'.
So, a 车库 is a 'car warehouse' or, as we say in English, a 'garage'. You can use it for a standalone building or an attached part of a house. It's a very common and practical word to know.
