If I claim mileage, can I claim car repairs too?

No you will not be able to claim your car repairs because you are already taking the standard mileage deduction for your business miles.

(The standard mileage deduction is the IRS's way to simply your business vehicle expenses and the cost per mile amount takes into account the wear and tear on your vehicle including repairs). Therefore, you cannot take the repairs under the actual expense method and the standard mileage deduction.
