Advance Automobiles

Our shop is tucked away at 15 D D Sathe Marg on Benham Hall Lane in Girgaon. It’s one of those narrow lanes where you have to be careful how you park. We’ve been working on cars here for a long time. The place is usually full of engines, tires, and tools scattered across the floor. It’s definitely not a clean or shiny showroom. There’s grease on almost every surface, including our hands. We spend the day under hoods or looking under chassis. People from the neighborhood bring their cars in when something starts making a weird noise. We don't have a big waiting area, maybe just a stool or two if someone wants to hang around while we work. Girgaon is a crowded place, so there’s always something happening right outside the door. We hear the sounds of the street all day long. Sometimes we’re working late into the evening to finish a job. It’s just us and our tools. We don't use any high-tech gadgets for everything; sometimes it’s just about knowing how an old engine sounds. The walls are covered in old calendars and posters. It’s a small operation, just a few of us who know our way around a car. We don't have a fancy website or anything. Most people just know us from word of mouth or by seeing us working in the lane. We just try to keep the cars on the road and satisfy the people who trust us.
