Datar Auto Garage

Our shop is Shop No 3 in the Noor Mohammed Chawl, right there in Ghatkopar West. We are part of the Mittal Industrials Estate area, which stays pretty crowded with trucks and cars coming through the Andheri Kurla Road. Being right opposite the fire brigade station means we hear sirens quite often, which just becomes part of the day after a while. At Datar Auto Garage, we spend our time under cars or leaning over engines. The floor is usually covered in some oil or grease because that is just the nature of fixing vehicles. It’s not a shiny showroom; it’s a working garage with tools hanging on the walls and spare parts piled in the corners. We see a lot of local drivers who need things fixed quickly so they can get back to work. The heat in the afternoon can get a bit much inside the shop, so we usually have a fan running constantly. Most of our neighbors are also doing industrial work, so there is a lot of hammering and engine noise from morning until evening. We just open up early, get our hands dirty, and handle whatever car shows up. It is a simple setup where we focus on the mechanical side of things without any extra fuss. If you are looking for us, just look for the chawl near the main road. We’ve been here in Ghatkopar for a bit now and we like the people around here.
