Shyam Service Center

You can find us at Shop No 2 in New Bharat Nagar, over in the Ekt area of Andheri West. We are a small service center and we spend most of our time fixing up whatever machines come through the door. It is usually bikes or small household machinery that people from around the neighborhood bring in when they stop working right. The floor is usually covered in oil stains and there are spare parts everywhere, but I know exactly where every wrench and screwdriver is kept in the back. It’s a noisy place with the sound of engines revving and tools banging, but that is just part of the job for us. We don't have a reception desk or a waiting lounge with air conditioning and magazines. You just bring your machine, tell us what’s wrong, and we see what we can do to get it running again for you. Sometimes we have to wait a couple of days for a specific part to arrive from the market, but we try to be as quick as possible. My hands are almost always black with grease by lunchtime, and we usually just eat right there in the shop on a stool. It is a humble business but we take pride in knowing how to fix things that other people would just throw away. The neighbors know us well and they often stop by just to chat for a minute while we are working on a motor or something.
