Depends on whatever country of Europe...
You mean a garage, parking space, car park or at the side of the road?
The "thingy" construction with the roof over the car is called a garage.
Never heard the word "auto" used very often in relation to a car as in "Excuse me while I park the auto" WTF!!!
And the "thingy" at the rear end where ya dump crap is called a boot and the "thingy" at the front end that covers the engine is a bonnet in English. A hood is something the Ku Klux Klan wear.
US folks kindly note the rubber thingies (in relation to motor vehicles) that come in contact with the road are called tyres - not tires.
Excuse Webster for his gross errors in the English language.
