Gaurav Auto Parts

Our shop, Gaurav Auto Parts, is located at Shop No 28/1533 in the Naiwala area of Karol Bagh. If you know anything about Delhi, you know Naiwala is the heart of the spare parts market. It is always crowded with mechanics and bikers. Our place is small, but it’s packed with boxes from the floor to the ceiling. You can barely see the walls behind all the parts we keep in stock. I started working here when I was quite young, helping out and learning the names of every little bolt and gear. Now I run things. It’s a lot of work keeping track of everything. The street outside is always noisy with engines revving and people haggling. We don't have any air conditioning, just a couple of old fans that hum all day. Sometimes we get a bit of grease on the counter, but that’s normal here. We don't use any fancy computer systems for everything; a lot of it is just written down in our books. Customers come in looking for specific pieces, and we usually know exactly which pile it’s in. It’s a busy life, and the days go by fast. We don't try to be anything we aren't. We just provide the parts that people need to get their vehicles back on the road. It is just a regular shop in a very busy corner.
