From...from

Is the repetition correct? Is this phrased correctly?

From what I got from the description of your car, you should take it to the junkyard.

Thank you

That is good colloquial English, and the repetition is inoffensive.

Even though it is alright, it may be better to use another word instead of the from; you got plenty of synonyms in English. You can make it thus:

Through what I got from the description of your car, you should take it to the junkyard.

See. It sounds better and smoother.
