K. M. Auto Works

You can find K. M. Auto Works at Shop No. 1738 in Ram Nagar, right along the Ghatkopar-Mankhurd Link Road. It’s a very busy spot in Shivaji Nagar, Govandi West. There is always a lot of traffic passing by, which brings in people who have car trouble or just need a quick look at something. The shop isn’t very big, so we often have cars lined up outside on the edge of the road. It’s a bit of a squeeze sometimes, but we make it work. We do all sorts of repairs, from small fixes to things that take a few days. It’s mostly just us with our toolboxes, getting under the hood or under the chassis to see what’s wrong. The area can be quite loud with all the horns honking on the Link Road, but we’re used to it by now. We don’t have a waiting room with a TV or anything like that. People usually just stand around and chat while we work or leave their keys and come back later. It’s an honest way to make a living, and we enjoy being part of the local community here. Sometimes the weather makes things difficult, like when it rains really hard and the water starts coming near the door, but we just keep going. It’s a local garage for local people, and we try to keep things simple and fair. We just focus on the engines and the wheels.
