Hasan Honda

Hasan Honda is over at 48 Kailash Nagar, right in the heart of Pakkamudayanpet. If you’ve lived around here for a bit, you’ve probably walked past us a hundred times. We deal with scooters and bikes mostly. It’s a noisy street and we add to it with the sound of engines revving up. Our shop is pretty straightforward. We have a few bikes parked out front and a small area where we do the repairs. It gets dusty because of all the traffic passing by, so we’re always wiping things down, though it never stays clean for long. The guys here have been working with bikes since they were kids. We don't have any big corporate banners or slick sales pitches. If someone brings in a Honda that’s acting up, we take a look and see what’s wrong. Sometimes it’s just a loose wire, other times it’s more work. We have a small bench where people sit and wait, maybe have a tea from the stall next door while we finish up. The paperwork is kept in a drawer that sticks sometimes. We aren’t trying to be the biggest shop in town, just the one people trust when their daily commute gets interrupted by a flat tire or a dead battery. It’s practical work. We open early because that’s when people are heading out. By evening, we’re tired and covered in oil, but it’s a good kind of tired.
