Swagath Auto Engineers

You can’t miss the noise from Hosur Road if you’re standing anywhere near our shop in Sudham Nagar. Swagath Auto Engineers is located at Garvebavipalya, right at number 18, and it’s a place that stays pretty greasy. We have oil stains on the floor that have been there since the day we opened. The air always smells like exhaust and old metal. We spend our days under the hoods of cars or lying on those little creepers to check the underside of a chassis. It is hard work and your hands are never really clean, even after using the heavy soap. We have a bunch of wrenches and screwdrivers scattered across the workbenches. Sometimes it takes a minute to find the exact size we need because things get moved around. The sun hits the front of the shop in the afternoon and it gets pretty warm inside. We have a small cooler for water, which is a lifesaver when the humidity picks up. People bring in their vehicles when they hear a weird knocking sound or when something just feels off. We take a look, find the problem, and get to work. It is a simple routine that repeats every day. We don’t have a waiting room with a TV or anything like that. People usually just stand around or come back later when the job is finished. We just keep our heads down and fix what needs fixing.
