My Words
I drived to the 4S shop in the morning. A engineer helped me to check my vehicle because I told him my car has a weird smell just like fuel. The good news is that the smell should be some fuel dripped in the sponge during driving power improvement two weeks ago. And I always stop the car in the parking spots underground. I will park my car outside this week.

I drove to the 4S shop this morning. An engineer helped me check my vehicle after I told him it had a weird smell, like fuel. The good news is the smell is likely from some fuel that dripped onto the sponge during a power upgrade two weeks ago. Since I usually park my car in an underground lot, I’ll park it outside this week to see if the smell clears up.
Fixes and Explanations
-
“I drived to the 4S shop” → “I drove to the 4S shop”
Corrected the past tense of “drive” from “drived” to “drove.”
-
“A engineer helped me to check” → “An engineer helped me check”
“An” is used before a word starting with a vowel sound. Removed “to” for natural phrasing in American English.
-
“because I told him my car has a weird smell just like fuel” → “after I told him it had a weird smell, like fuel”
Simplified sentence structure and adjusted tense (“has” to “had”).
-
“the smell should be some fuel dripped in the sponge during driving power improvement two weeks ago” → “the smell is likely from some fuel that dripped onto the sponge during a power upgrade two weeks ago”
Made it clearer and smoother while keeping the technical meaning.
-
“And I always stop the car in the parking spots underground” → “Since I usually park my car in an underground lot”
Rephrased for a more natural and conversational tone.
-
“I will park my car outside this week” → “I’ll park it outside this week to see if the smell clears up”
Added “to see if the smell clears up” for a logical connection and used the contraction “I’ll” for conversational flow.
