Shriram Oil & Batteries

Shriram Oil & Batteries is located at 4 Akurdi, right where the action is. It’s a pretty straightforward place where we handle exactly what the name says. The shop is filled with rows of heavy batteries and stacks of oil cans in different sizes. There is always that distinct smell of engine oil and lead that hangs in the air, which you stop noticing after the first ten minutes. The floor is concrete and has plenty of marks from where we’ve dragged heavy equipment around. We don't have a fancy showroom or anything like that. It’s mostly just a workspace with a small counter near the front where we keep the ledger. It’s often quite busy with people coming in because their car won't start or they need a quick oil change. We work with our hands mostly, so we are usually covered in a bit of grime by noon. The shop gets a lot of light in the morning, which is nice, but it gets pretty hot by mid-afternoon. We’ve got a small radio that plays in the background to keep things lively while we work. It’s a practical, no-nonsense kind of place. We don't spend money on advertising; people just know to come to us when they have a problem with their vehicle’s power or engine.
