Kartik Auto Agency

If you're driving on the road between Muzaffarpur, Tajpur, and Samastipur, you’ll find us in Sapha Mahdaiya. We’re positioned right near National Highway 28, which means there is never a quiet moment. The highway is always humming with trucks and buses going long distances. Our agency handles auto parts and supplies, and being right on the main route makes it easy for people to pull over when they have a problem. The shop is a basic brick building. We spend a lot of time standing near the front, watching the traffic go by while waiting for the next customer. It gets very dusty with all the vehicles kicking up dirt from the road shoulder. Inside, we’ve got shelves stacked high with everything from oil to heavy engine components. We’ve seen all kinds of breakdowns and repairs happen right outside our door. Sometimes people just stop to ask for directions or to use the phone. It’s a busy life being on the highway. We open up as soon as the sun is up because that’s when the drivers are out. It’s a lot of manual work, moving heavy crates and checking part numbers under dim lights. We don't have a big corporate team, just a few of us who know the inventory inside out. The area of Sapha Mahdaiya is small, so we’re a well-known landmark for the local drivers.
