IDENTIFY COMMON AUTOMOTIVE TERMS
The maintenance and repair of wheeled vehicles becomes an increasingly larger job each year. New
vehicles are being made, new types of systems are being used on the vehicles, and new words are
becoming part of the language used by soldiers who perform the maintenance and repair of
wheeled vehicles.

assemblies of vehicles are located.
