Kahan Auto Spares

Our shop is number 19/1 B in Shirin Manzil, right on Grant Road. It’s one of those busy streets where there’s always something going on. Kahan Auto Spares has been here a good while now. The shelves are pretty packed with boxes of all sizes. We try to keep a bit of everything for the different car models that come through Mumbai. It’s not the biggest space, so sometimes you have to wait a minute while we find the specific part in the back. We know most of the mechanics around here by name. They come in looking for gaskets or brake pads, and we just dig through the stock to find what they need. The lighting inside isn't great, but we know where everything is. It’s a bit of a maze sometimes. Grant Road can be a nightmare for parking, so most people just hop out quickly or send someone on a scooter to pick things up. We don't have a website or anything like that; we just answer the phone and talk to whoever walks through the door. It’s a simple way to run things, but it works for us. We just keep track of the inventory and try to stay organized as much as we can in such a small shop. It gets a bit cluttered during the heavy shipping days but we manage.
