Asif Attar Hero Honda

We are located at 936/A on Station Road, right in the middle of Bijapur Bazar. It’s a crowded area, especially on market days. We work on Hero Honda bikes mostly. It gets really loud with all the traffic passing by outside and the sounds of the tools inside. I’ve lived in Bijapur my whole life, so opening a shop here made sense. People stop by when their bikes start making a weird noise or if they just need an oil change. The shop isn't very big, so we end up parking some of the motorcycles out front on the pavement. Sometimes we have a backlog of repairs, and the floor gets covered in grease. That’s just part of the job. My younger brother helps me with the accounts, though he’d rather be out back working on the engines. We see all kinds of people coming through the bazaar. It’s a good spot because everyone passes by the station eventually. We don't have a fancy waiting room or anything. Most guys just stand around and chat while we look at their bikes. It’s how things have always been done here. We try to get people back on the road as quick as we can. There is always a lot of tea drinking and talking about the news while we tighten bolts and fix chains. It is a lively place.
