Mayur Automobiles

If you know Nana Peth, you know how crowded it gets with all the auto parts shops and narrow lanes. We are tucked in at 612/118 kalupur, right in the thick of it. Mayur Automobiles is mostly just shelves filled with boxes of every size. We have parts for old scooters and new bikes all mixed together. Sometimes it takes us a minute to find exactly what a customer is looking for in the back. The air in the street is always full of smoke and the sound of metal. We spend a lot of time looking through thick catalogs to match part numbers. The shop is small and the walls are covered in posters of motorcycles that have been there for years. We get a lot of mechanics coming in with oily rags in their hands looking for a specific bolt or a gasket. It’s a lot of standing around and talking about engines. The counter is old wood and has seen a lot of use. We don't have a computer system that does everything, so we still write a lot of things down by hand in big ledgers. It’s dusty work but we like being in the middle of the market. There is always someone stopping by to ask for directions or just to see if we have a rare part. We stay open late because that’s when most people realize they need something for their ride the next day.
