Mathaji Auto Parts

If you drive down Medavakkam Main Road towards Kovilambakkam, you’ll find us at 2/587. The traffic outside is usually pretty bad, so we hear a lot of honking all day long. The shop itself is a decent size, filled with just about every auto part you can think of. We have rows of filters, belts, and gaskets. I started this place with just a few shelves, and it just grew over time. Now, it’s hard to find an empty spot on the walls. We have a small bench out front where the local mechanics sit and have their tea while they wait for us to pull their orders. It’s a bit of a social spot in the evenings. We don't really do any big advertising; people just know we are here. Sometimes the stock gets a bit mixed up, especially when we get a large delivery on a Monday. It takes us a couple of days to get everything sorted back into the right bins. The floor is concrete and shows every bit of oil that spills, but that’s just part of the job. We try to keep things honest and straightforward. If we don’t have something, we usually tell you where else you might find it. It’s a simple way of doing things, but it has kept us going for years. We just keep the door open and wait for the next customer.
