Avon Bearings

If you find yourself on J C Road, specifically at Auto Towers, that’s where you’ll find us. We are up on the 3rd floor, right across from the Punjab and Sind Bank. It’s 149 Jaya Chamarajendra Road, a place that stays noisy from all the traffic downstairs. This building is full of people selling all sorts of car and machine parts. We focus on bearings here. We have rows and rows of boxes stacked up to the ceiling. It’s mostly metal and grease smells around here. Sometimes the elevator in Auto Towers acts up, so we end up taking the stairs more than we’d like. It’s a good workout, I guess. We spend most of our time looking up part numbers and checking the stock for mechanics who come in looking for something specific. It can get pretty cramped when a big shipment arrives and we have to move everything around to find space. We don’t have a big sign or anything flashy. Just the name on the door and a lot of steel parts inside. The view from the third floor is just more buildings and the tops of buses, but it’s home for us during the day. We’ve been here long enough that we know most of the other shop owners in the tower. We share tea sometimes when things aren’t too hectic. It’s a straightforward business, just getting parts to people who need them. We often stay late on Tuesdays to finish the inventory counts.
