Saini Motors

Saini Motors is situated on G B Road in the Barun Field area. The address has some weird numbers in the records, but we are just there on the main row. It’s a garage where there is always a car with its hood up. I’ve spent more hours under vehicles than I have in my own house, I think. The smell of petrol and old engine oil is just part of the air here. My clothes always have a few grease stains that never quite come out in the wash. We take in cars that are making funny noises or just need their oil changed. It’s not a shiny dealership. We have old tires stacked in the corner and tools spread out across the benches. Some days the rain leaks a little through the roof, and we have to move the jacks around to stay dry. It’s a tough job but I like the sound of a motor finally turning over after it’s been dead for a week. People in the neighborhood bring their trucks and cars here because they know we’ve been around for a while. We don't use any fancy computer diagnostics for everything; often it's just listening to the engine and knowing what’s wrong from experience. It’s a noisy, messy, but honest way to make a living. We open early and usually stay until the last job is finished for the night.
