Mukesh Auto Parts & Oil

You can find us over in Binjhiya, specifically in Ward No. 8 of Sanjay Nagar in Mandla. We are pretty close to the Reliance Petrol Pump, which is a good landmark for people who haven't visited us before. Our shop is a mix of auto parts and different kinds of engine oils. Because we are near the pump, we get a lot of people stopping in because they realized they needed a liter of oil or a new filter while they were fueling up. The shelves are packed with cans and bottles, and the smell of grease is pretty much always in the air. I spend a lot of time helping people figure out which oil is right for their bike or car because there are so many options nowadays. It’s a small place, so things can get a bit cramped when three or four people come in at once. We usually have some tea in the afternoon and chat with the neighbors or the drivers who are taking a break. It’s a friendly enough spot, and we try to keep things relaxed. We don't have any big computer systems or anything like that; we just write things down in the ledger and keep moving. It’s a simple way to run a business, but it works for us and the people in Binjhiya who know they can rely on us being here.
