Hydrautics

Hydrautics is our shop over on the Link Road in Malad West. It’s a busy area with a lot of shops and traffic all the time. We focus on hydraulic parts and systems, which is a bit of a niche thing but there’s always someone who needs a hose or a valve fixed. The shop is filled with heavy metal parts and the smell of industrial oil. It’s not the kind of place where you’d find a lot of decorations. We have racks of different fittings and hoses of all sizes. Most of our day is spent helping people find the exact part they need for their machinery. Sometimes they bring in a broken piece and we have to see if we can match it or repair it. It’s slow, careful work because if a hydraulic seal isn't right, the whole machine won't work. The Link Road is always noisy, so we’ve gotten used to the sound of cars and construction. We’ve been here for a while and have seen the area grow quite a bit. It’s just a couple of us working here, keeping things moving. We don't do any big advertising. People usually find us because they have a specific mechanical problem and someone told them to check the shop on Link Road. It’s straightforward, technical work and we enjoy the challenge of figuring out how to fix something that’s leaking or stuck.
