Viraj Motors

You can find us out in Kandivali West, right on Jss Road 2 near the Jagannath Shankar area. It’s a lively part of town and there’s always something going on outside the doors. We spend most of our time working on the vehicles that people bring in. The shop floor is usually covered in tools and parts because there’s always a project halfway done. It gets greasy and loud, especially when we have a few engines going at once, but that’s just how a garage is supposed to be. Some days are slower than others, which gives us a chance to clean up the workspace a little bit, though it never stays clean for long. We’ve got a small area where people can sit while they wait, but most folks just drop their keys and head off to run errands. The sun hits the front of the shop pretty hard in the afternoons, so we usually have the fans running full blast. It’s not a high-tech setup with computers everywhere. We rely more on what we’ve learned over the years just by doing the work. If something is broken, we look at it and figure out the best way to fix it without making it more complicated than it needs to be. We keep a lot of spare parts tucked away in the back corners. It’s a bit of a maze back there, but we know where everything is. Life in Kandivali keeps us busy enough and we just take it day by day.
