Delux Auto Part

Delux Auto Part sits right across from the Patel Statue at No. 1/1, Chhoti Gwaltoli. It’s a good landmark to tell people when they’re looking for our door. The shop isn't very big, so we have stuff stacked all the way to the ceiling in some places. You really have to watch your head sometimes when you're walking through the narrow aisles. We deal with all sorts of bits and pieces for engines and brakes. It’s a lot of inventory to keep track of. My hands are usually stained with some kind of grease that won't come off easily. We’ve seen plenty of rain leak through the roof over the years, but we just put out a bucket and keep moving. The street out front is always crowded with delivery trucks and scooters. It gets pretty loud during the middle of the day. We know most of the other shop owners around here. We borrow tools or share snacks when things are slow. There’s no air conditioning in here, just a ceiling fan that wobbles a little bit. It does the job well enough. People come in looking for something specific, and usually, we can find it if they give us some time to dig through the old boxes. It’s not a shiny showroom. It’s just a place where things get sold and stories get told. We don’t have a fancy computer system. We remember where things are mostly by memory and habit after being here so long.
