Dewan Spares

Dewan Spares is located on Hari Singh Nalwa Street in Karol Bagh, specifically at 6/1194. If you know this area, you know it is always full of people looking for parts and mechanics working on the side of the road. Our shop is packed with boxes from the floor to the ceiling. We deal with all kinds of spares and it can be a bit hard to find things if you don't know where to look. I’ve spent years learning where every single bolt and cable is kept. It’s a dusty place and my hands are usually a bit greasy by the end of the day. We don't have a fancy computer system to track everything. We mostly rely on memory and the old ledgers we keep on the desk. The street outside is very narrow so it gets jammed with motorcycles and rickshaws all day long. It’s loud and sometimes frustrating but it’s home for us. We see the same faces every day, from the tea boy to the other shop owners who have been here as long as we have. We don't do any big marketing. If someone needs a part for their vehicle they just come by and ask. We tell them straight if we have it or if they need to check another lane. It is a practical business and we just keep it moving one part at a time. The work never really stops because cars are always breaking down.
