Karan Diesel Engineers

If you find yourself in Nehru Market at Badarpur, you’ll probably see our shop at number 17. We’ve been fixing diesel engines here at Karan Diesel Engineers for a long time. It’s a greasy job, and our hands are usually covered in oil by ten in the morning. We take apart engines, clean the parts, and put them back together. Sometimes the parts are hard to find, so we have to wait a few days. The market is always loud with trucks and people shouting, but we’re used to it. We have a small crew of guys who know their way around a fuel pump. It isn't a clean, shiny office like the ones you see in the movies. It’s a workshop with tools scattered around and the smell of diesel everywhere. We work on whatever comes through the door, mostly trucks or generators that have stopped working. We try to be honest about what needs fixing and what can wait. If something is broken, we tell you. We don't have a website or anything like that. People just bring their machines here because they know we've been in Badarpur for years. It’s hard work, especially in the summer heat, but it keeps us busy. We just keep our heads down and focus on the engines. There is always a pile of scrap metal in the corner that we need to clear out, but we never seem to get around to it.
