Goyal Auto & Machinery Stores

If you are driving past the petrol pump in Jundla, you will probably see our shop, Goyal Auto & Machinery Stores. We are at Shop No-141. Being near the pump means there is a lot of traffic, mostly farmers and truck drivers coming in for parts. The floor is usually a bit greasy because we handle a lot of tractor components and heavy machinery bits. We have shelves reaching all the way to the ceiling, packed with bolts, belts, and metal pieces. It can be a bit dark in the back, so we use handheld torches to find the smaller items. The front of the shop is where most of the talking happens. People come in with broken parts, looking for a replacement that fits just right. Jundla is the kind of place where everyone knows your name after a few visits. We’ve been here long enough that the walls have absorbed that specific smell of oil and old iron. It’s a messy business, but it keeps the local machines running. We don't have a fancy display window. Instead, we just stack the tires and heavy drums where people can see them. Sometimes it’s quiet, and we just sit on the stools watching the cars go by the pump. Other times, three people are shouting for help at once. It’s just how it goes here. We just try to find what people need so they can get back to work.
