The repair costs needed for your car before you started driving for Uber are not deductible. They do not qualify as start-up costs either.
Start-up costs include any amounts paid or incurred in
connection with creating an active trade or business or investigating the
creation or acquisition of an active trade or business.
If you start deducting actual costs for your vehicle. you cannot revert to the standard mileage rate in later years.
