S S Auto

S S Auto is tucked away in Santacruz East on 16th Cross. To be exact, it’s 3rd Main, number 3. It is a tight spot but we make it work. Every morning the first thing I do is pull up the heavy metal shutter. It makes a loud clanging sound that the neighbors probably don't like much. Inside, it’s all about parts for vehicles. We have boxes of spark plugs and stacks of tires in the corner. The floor has a few oil stains that just won't come out no matter how much we scrub. Santacruz East is a hectic place, so there is always someone rushing in needing something fixed or replaced right away. We don’t have a lot of space for people to sit, so they usually just hang out by the entrance while we look for what they need. The light inside isn’t the brightest, but we know where everything is. Sometimes the rain comes down hard and we have to move the boxes away from the front so they don't get damp. It’s a regular shop for regular people. We don't do anything fancy here. Just selling parts and talking to the drivers who stop by. The day goes by fast when there are a lot of customers. By evening, we’re tired and ready to head home, just like everyone else on this street.
