Kirty Auto Automobiles

It’s been quite a while since we set up here at number 587 on Subedar Chatram Road. If you know Grant Road, you know how loud it gets with all the cars and people pushing past each other. We spend most of our days surrounded by boxes of engine parts and oil cans. It’s not the cleanest job in the world, but someone has to do it. Mostly, we just try to find the specific part someone is looking for so they can get their vehicle back on the road. Some days are slow and we just sit near the front watching the rain or the sun beat down on the pavement. Other days, three people come in at once asking for things we have to dig through the back shelves to find. My hands are usually covered in some kind of grease by noon. We don't have fancy displays or anything like that. Just shelves and counters. Sometimes we make tea and talk about the latest news with the regulars who stop by. It’s a basic shop, really. People come in, ask for a bolt or a mirror, and we see if we have it in stock. If we don’t, we try to tell them where else they might look. That’s just how it goes here in this part of town. We keep the shutters open until late most nights because you never know who might need something last minute to fix their bike.
