THANK YOU.

Explanation:
Without more context it's impossible to provide the most specific English terms, but these should give you a starting point:

refaccionamiento = repair (or "repair work")
anexo = attachment (or "annex"); as a past participle, "attached" or annexed"
malcates = winches, hoists, or hoisting engines [however, please check the spelling of the Spanish word; it should probably be "malacates"]
armado = reinforced [with reference to a cable or wire, though, "shielded" would be the right word]
puesta en servicio = placement in service, ]placement in operation, or simply "start-up"

As for SP<>EN automotive dictionaries, there doesn't appear to be one available online. However, it sounds as though a good general engineering dictionary might be useful to you; see the info below. -- Hope this helps!
