Metal a car technician receives ordering items separately (1,2,5)
I believe the answer is:
a la carte
'separately' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for a la carte that I've seen before include "A real cat (anag.)" , "Chosen from full menu" , "Type of menu" , "Menu with differently priced choices" , "Where dishes are ordered separately, not from a set menu" .)
