Is my sentence natural?

That's why I keep on asking about problems that my car have, standing close to a mechanic ,sometimes at annoying level.
  

Top answer

No. More natural is eg That's why I keep on asking about my car problems. I stand close to the mechanic, and sometimes talk loudly.

I wanted to say " kept on asking about the car problems as much as he could feel annoyed". Is it still odd? If yes, how would say it ?

I don't understand what the underlined part means. Please explain.

If I kept on asking a question , the repair man would feel annoyed. I kept on asking question to him until he felt annoyed.
