Govind Auto Spares

Our shop is situated at number 212 in Narayan Peth. If you know the area, you know how narrow and crowded the streets can be around here. We have been in this spot for many years, selling all sorts of spare parts for cars and bikes. The walls are lined with boxes of everything from brake pads to tiny screws and gaskets. It’s a bit of a maze inside because we have so much stock packed into a small space. I usually have a cloth tucked into my pocket to wipe the grease off my hands before I handle any paper or money. The light in the back is a bit dim, so I have to be careful when I’m searching for a specific part on the high racks. Most of the people who come in are local mechanics who need something quickly to finish a repair job. We also get folks who are trying to fix their own vehicles. I spend a lot of time looking through the old catalogs to find the right part for the right model. The sound of horns and traffic from Narayan Peth is constant, and it only gets quiet very late at night. We don’t have any fancy displays or anything like that. It’s just shelves and boxes and a lot of metal. It’s a busy life, but we like being right in the heart of the old city where all the noise and activity is throughout the day.
