Vikas Auto Spares

Vikas Auto Spares is right in the middle of Karol Bagh on Hari Singh Nalwa Street, specifically Shri Kishan Dass Road 1752/54. If you have ever been to this part of the city, you know it is basically just rows and rows of shops selling every part for every car ever made. My place is just one of many, but we have been on this specific corner for a long time. The shop is filled with the smell of grease and metal, which I don't even notice anymore. We have boxes stacked up to the ceiling, and sometimes it takes me a minute to find the exact bolt or cable someone is looking for. The street outside is always crowded with delivery carts and people looking for deals. It gets really hot in the summer, and we just have a small fan that doesn't do much. I usually spend my morning checking the stock that came in the night before. It is hard work and my back usually hurts by the end of the shift. We don't have any of those fancy computer systems for inventory, I just know where most things are kept by memory. People stop by and talk about their cars or just complain about the traffic. It’s a loud place to work but it’s what I know. We just stay busy and keep the doors open.
