Vocabulary for car owners

All these years we published blogs that were related to interview skills or English grammar. Just a few days back we started creating more blogs that helped the beginners to learn basic English skills. The basic English skills include vocabularies, phrases, idioms that are used in day to day communication. While the blogs provided information on general topics, today’s blog is for those who love cars, bikes etc. i.e. for men and boys. However, it’s not limited to the males of the society, but for all those who own a car or are about to/ planning to buy a car. In this blog, we will explain some must know common words for car owners.
