Paans Auto

We've been here at No. 91, Panchalaiamman, Koil Street for quite a while now. Paans Auto is just a small place where we handle cars every day. Most of the time, the shop is a bit messy with tools lying around, but we know where everything is. People in the neighborhood usually just drop by when something sounds wrong under the hood. It gets pretty loud on the street sometimes, especially in the afternoons when everyone is out and about. We don't have a big office or anything fancy. Just some chairs for people to sit while they wait. My hands are usually covered in grease by noon, which is just how it goes in this line of work. Sometimes it’s a quick fix, other times we have to keep a vehicle for a few days if parts are hard to find. We just take things one day at a time here. The heat can get pretty bad inside the shop during the summer, so we keep the fans running all day long. It's not a complicated life. We show up, look at the engines, and try to get things back on the road. Most of our regulars are folks who live nearby or work on the next street over. We’ve seen the same faces for years. It’s a job, you know? Just trying to keep things moving. We don't really do much advertising. People find us because they see the sign or hear about us from a neighbor. Sometimes the dog from next door comes in looking for scraps while we eat our lunch on the bench.
