Sri Thirumala Tyres

Setting up Shop No 186 out here on Sarjapur Main Road was a choice we made because of all the vehicles that pass by every single day. If you’re heading toward Carmelaram Post, you’ve probably seen us near Chikka Bellandur and DoodaKannallli. Sri Thirumala Tyres is usually a pretty busy spot, especially when the weather changes and everyone realizes their tread is getting thin. The smell of rubber is everywhere in the shop, and we’ve got stacks of tires nearly reaching the ceiling in some corners. It’s a bit of a workout moving them around all day, but it keeps us moving. We don’t have a big fancy showroom with bright lights. It’s just a garage where the air compressor is always running and there’s usually some grease on our hands. People pull in, we take a look at what’s wrong, and we get it sorted out. Sometimes the road outside gets backed up for miles, and we just watch the cars crawl by while we work on a rim or patch a tube. We’ve got a good rhythm going here between the three of us. We aren't trying to be the biggest tire shop in the city, just the one that’s open and ready when someone has a flat on their way home. It’s a straightforward job, and being out here on the main road means there’s always someone who needs a hand. We've been here long enough that most of the local drivers recognize the shop when they pass by Sarjapur Main Road.
