Answer:

Because Tom wants Nick to meet his mistress, Myrtle Wilson.

Step-by-step explanation:

They go to a car repair shop owned by Myrtle's husband, George Wilson. He chats with George and then secretly tells Myrtle to meet him in their apartment in New York, where they usually have their rendezvous.
