[Tagging] service:car for car shops and repair

[Dave Swarthout]

Well, in America anybody who has reached old age is an "old timer", someone
like me LOL. Using that term for vehicles is a little less common but it
would definitely work in that context.

@Phil - your spelling of vetran wouldn't fly in the U.S. either. It is
actually veteran.

Regards,
DAve
