Hi, Lagan, let me tell you a story.

The evening before yesterday when I was going to pick my granddaughter up from kindergarten, I found I couldn’t start my car, so I had to call a taxi.

I thought the reason may be the battery because it happened several times that I couldn't start my car because the battery was running out of energy.

I had the battery changed, but I still couldn't start the engine. The mechanic didn't find anything wrong. After he did a computer test, afterwards he doubted if the car was running out of gasoline, so I added 230 rmb of gasoline, but it didn't work.

The mechanic said he couldn't figure out what the problem was at the moment. He told me he would fix my car at night when he was not busy.

Now I am at home. I don't know if they have already fixed my car or not. I forgot to ask for their phone numbers.

I will go to work tomorrow morning, and the car fixing store is right on my way to work. I think by then I will know.

Don't need to use afterwards after you use "after." A little awkward to use "gasoline" twice in the same sentence, but completely fine for casual/colloquial speech. Same for "computer test" --- a little strange in written format, but fine for spoken.
