#It is forbidden to bring an item to a professional on chol hamoed even if it is something that is necessary for the moed.<ref>Bach 534 is strict to forbid bringing a kli to a professional on chol hamoed even if it is necessary for the moed. Meiri 13b agrees. Mishna Brurah 534:15 quotes this from Bach and Eliya Rabba 534:6. Hilchot Chag Bchag p. 345 agrees. Therefore, Hilchot Chag Bchag and Tiferet 534:14 quoting Chiko Mamtakim write that it is forbidden to bring a car to a mechanic on chol hamoed. However, Maamar Mordechai 534:4 argues that it is permitted since it is a tzorech hamoed. Kaf Hachaim 534:21 quotes Maamar Mordechai. </ref>

[https://www.hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=38213&st=&pgnum=130 Shita Talmid L'Ri Mparis 13b] and Meiri 13b agree. Mishna Brurah 534:15 quotes this from Bach and Eliya Rabba 534:6. Hilchot Chag Bchag p. 345 agrees. Therefore, Hilchot Chag Bchag and Tiferet 534:14 quoting Chiko Mamtakim write that it is forbidden to bring a car to a mechanic on chol hamoed.

Why is there a prohibition to bring kelim to a bet hauman on the moed for a tzorech hamoed? Hilchot Chag Bchag explains that it is a concern that people will think that you asked the uman to do melacha for after the moed. Hilchot Chol Hamoed Khilchato (ch. 8 fnt. 61) writes that there's a concern that people will think you asked the uman to do melacha in a prohibited fashion, such as maaseh uman for tzorech hamoed. The practical difference between these approaches is that Hilchot Chol Hamoed Kehilchato would permit bringing to an uman kelim for ochel nefesh since there maaseh uman is permitted.
 
See Hilchot Chol Hamoed Zichron Shlomo p. 102 who permits bringing clothing to a dry cleaner on chol hamoed to do for after the moed. However, seemingly this is in contradiction to Mishna Brurah 534:15. </ref>
