Santosh Auto Works

Santosh Auto Works is located right on L B S Marg in Vikhroli West. We are on the road that leads to the Mysore Sandal Soap Factory, basically right across from the H P petrol pump. If you’ve ever been stuck in Vikhroli traffic, you’ve probably seen our shop. We are usually covered in grease by noon. There are always a few cars parked out front in various states of being taken apart. We’ve been fixing engines and touching up paint here for years. It’s a noisy spot because of the main road, but we’re used to it. The shop floor is always oily, no matter how much we try to sweep it. We have a couple of guys who are really good with their hands and can figure out an engine noise just by listening. We don’t have fancy diagnostic computers; we just use our tools and what we’ve learned over the years. People bring their old cars to us because they know we will just tell them what’s wrong without any extra talk. Sometimes we’re waiting on parts to arrive from the city, so things might sit for a day or two. It’s just how the garage business goes. We stay open late most nights because there is always one last job to finish. It is hard work, but we like being the local mechanics that people can just talk to plainly. We get the job done and that is what matters.
