Omkar Automobiles

If you come down to Baner Gao, you will find us near the Sautamali Mandir. The temple bells ring at certain times of the day, and it’s a nice sound to work to. Omkar Automobiles is located in Laxmi Baug Colony, which is a bit quieter than the main Baner road, but we still get plenty of vehicles coming through. The shop is full of the smell of oil and old metal parts. My overalls are usually covered in grease by ten in the morning. We spend the day looking under hoods or changing out parts that have worn out on these bumpy roads. The address at Laxmi Baug Colony is easy to find once you are in the Baner Gao area. I have a wooden bench outside where people wait while I finish up their work. The floor of the shop is stained with years of oil spills, no matter how much I scrub it. We have a lot of tools hanging on the wall, and I know exactly where each one is without even looking. It gets hot in the afternoons, so we keep the big shutter all the way up to let the breeze in. Most of our regulars are from the colony or the nearby streets. They know me by name, and I know their cars. It’s a basic setup at Omkar Automobiles, just me and the machines and the temple nearby.
