Das Auto ist repariert worden.

geworden (used when 'werden' is the main verb, meaning 'become')

Past participle of 'werden' used for the passive voice, a shortened form of 'geworden'.

Remember that in the perfect passive, the 'ge-' from 'geworden' is dropped to avoid a double 'ge-' sound with the main verb's participle (e.g., 'gefragt worden').
