I am a sales rep for the company. They purchased vehicle when I was hired 3 years ago. I have never claimed milage or anything else for this vehicle. The vehicle needed repairs (because of high milage)

Sorry---W-2 employees cannot deduct job-related expenses . Job-related expenses were eliminated as a deduction for W-2 employees by the tax laws that changed for 2018 and beyond. Your state tax laws might be different in AL, AR, CA, HI, MN, NY or PA.

And......you should have a discussion with the employer regarding the car repair expense and mileage.
