Absent-minded

Last night it snowed for the first time this winter season. Before leaving for work, I had to clear the snow from the car and the entrance of my house.

My wife took the kids to the school this morning because I had to take my car to the repair shop for scheduled servicing. The shop is not very far away from my work, so I decided to take a walk.

When I was at work, I received a call from the repair shop, asking if I could leave the car overnight because they needed a car part that can be delivered only the next day. I agreed and immediately forgot about it. So by the end of the day, I went to pick up the car.

I walked down to the repair shop (it took me half an hour) just to be kindly reminded of what we had agreed earlier today. They couldn't give me the car back because they already have disassembled some parts of it.

This just tightens things up. “Very far away” is redundant

Very relatable 😔 But also, very well written! Some of those corrections are basically what I would say to a native speaker.
