Shanco Auto & Cable Ind.

You’ll find Shanco Auto & Cable Ind. right at 1, Nicholson Road. Being in the Kashmere Gate area means it is always crowded and noisy outside our doors. There are people moving parts and boxes all day long, and the traffic is something you just learn to live with. We deal mostly with cables and different automotive parts. Our space is filled with spools of wire and boxes stacked up to the ceiling. It can be hard to find a place to sit sometimes when a new shipment comes in. We’ve been at this for years, and the shop has that smell of grease and rubber that never really goes away. It’s a local spot, and we get a lot of regulars stopping by to see what we have in stock. We don’t have a website or anything fancy like that; we just answer the phone and talk to people face-to-face. Sometimes the rain leaks in a bit near the back door, but we just put a bucket down and keep moving. The guys here know the inventory by heart, so you don’t have to wait long if you’re looking for a specific cable. It’s a bit chaotic, but it is our kind of chaos. We start early in the morning before the sun gets too hot and stay until the last order is packed up. It is just a regular shop in a busy part of town and we like it.
