Auto Controls

Our place, Auto Controls, is tucked away at 20/10E in the Sethi Industrial Estate. We’re on Suren Road, which most people know because it’s near Darpan Talkies in Andheri East. Being near the cinema is a good landmark for people trying to find us. It’s a very industrial part of town, lots of dust and movement. We focus on control systems, so there’s always some wiring or testing happening on the benches. The workshop is a bit old, with fans that hum all day to keep the air moving. It’s not the most modern office you’ll ever see, but it’s where we feel at home. We’ve got a small team, and we all know each other’s habits by now. Lunch is usually eaten together at the back table. Andheri East is always packed, so there’s never a dull moment outside the gates. Sometimes we have to step out onto Suren Road just to get a bit of air. We don’t bother with fancy brochures or expensive signs. Our name is on the door and that’s usually enough. People come to us when they need something fixed or built, and we just tell them how it is. No corporate talk, just straightforward work. It’s a living, and we’ve been doing it this way for quite a few years now. We like the independence of running our own shop and seeing the results of our labor every day.
