Be frightened under cars being repaired (3,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

run scared

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cars being repaired' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'be frightened under' is the wordplay.
'be' becomes 'run' (running is a kind of being).
'frightened' becomes 'scared' (scared means frightened or fearful).
'under' means one lot of letters go next to another (in a down clue, some letters go below others).
'run'+'scared'='RUN SCARED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for run scared that I've seen is " Show great fear".)
