Tiệm sửa xe ở gần nhà tôi.

Vietnamese usually puts the main noun first and the describing part after it.

• tiệm = shop
• sửa xe = repairing vehicles / vehicle repair

So tiệm sửa xe is literally shop [for] repairing vehicles.

This is a very common pattern in Vietnamese:

• quán cà phê = coffee shop
• cửa hàng quần áo = clothing store
• tiệm sửa điện thoại = phone repair shop

Xe is a broad word meaning vehicle. Depending on context, it can refer to:

• bikes
• motorbikes
• cars
• vehicles in general

In everyday Vietnamese, tiệm sửa xe often makes people think of a bike or motorbike repair shop, because those are very common. If you specifically mean a car repair shop, people may also say:

• tiệm sửa ô tô
• gara ô tô

Here, ở marks location and works a lot like is located at/in/near.

So:

• ở gần nhà tôi = located near my house

In other contexts, ở can also mean:

• to be/stay/live at
• at/in as a location word

Examples:

• Tôi ở Hà Nội. = I live in Hanoi.
• Sách ở trên bàn. = The book is on the table.

In your sentence, ở helps connect the shop to its location.

Vietnamese often does not need a separate verb like English to be.

In sentences about qualities or locations, Vietnamese commonly uses:

• a stative word directly, or
• a location word like ở

So instead of needing something exactly like is, Vietnamese can say:

• Tiệm sửa xe ở gần nhà tôi.
• Tiệm sửa xe gần nhà tôi.

Both are natural. The version with ở sounds more explicitly like is located near.

In Vietnamese, the thing being possessed comes first, and the owner comes after.

So:

• nhà tôi = my house
• xe anh ấy = his vehicle
• bạn em = my younger sibling’s friend / your friend depending on context

This is the normal pattern. It is literally closer to house my than my house.

You can also say nhà của tôi, but that is usually more explicit or emphatic. In everyday speech, nhà tôi is the more natural choice.

Yes, you often can.

• Tiệm sửa xe ở gần nhà tôi.
• Tiệm sửa xe gần nhà tôi.

Both are understandable and natural.

The difference is mostly one of style and structure:

• ở gần feels more clearly like is located near
• gần by itself works like a predicate meaning is near

So dropping ở does not usually change the basic meaning much.

It can mean either one. Vietnamese does not have articles like a, an, and the.

So tiệm sửa xe could be:

• the repair shop
• a repair shop

Context tells you which one is intended.

Depending on the situation, English translations could be:

• The repair shop is near my house.
• A repair shop is near my house.
• There’s a repair shop near my house.

No. A very common alternative is cửa hàng.

So you could also say:

• Cửa hàng sửa xe ở gần nhà tôi.

The difference is mainly in tone and usage:

• tiệm often feels like a smaller shop or local business
• cửa hàng is a broader, very neutral word for store/shop

Both are correct here.

Gần means near / close to.

After gần, Vietnamese can place the reference point directly:

• gần nhà tôi = near my house
• gần trường = near the school
• gần đây = near here / recently, depending on context

You do not need an extra word like English to or of.

So the structure is simply:

• gần + noun phrase

A rough breakdown is:

• Tiệm — heavy, low tone
• sửa — dipping/rising tone
• xe — level tone
• ở — dipping/rising tone
• gần — falling tone
• nhà — falling tone
• tôi — level tone

Very rough English-style approximation:

• tee-uhm suu-uh xe uh guhn nya toy

But that approximation is limited. The tones are important, and they matter more than the English-style spelling. If you can, it is best to hear a native recording and repeat it.
