What does "sent down to" mean?
He asked Mike to have the car sent down to the garage.
What does "sent down to" mean?Why is adverb, down added to this phrase?
It's simply there to give an idea of movement. You could equally well say 'sent over'. The 'down' isn't literal.

The "down" isn't important, unless the garage is someplace lower than where it us now, such as on a lower level in a building.
If this isn't the situation, in the US we'd just say "sent to" in common usage.
