Supertech Computers

The shop is on Pallikulam Road. It is a narrow street and it gets quite crowded with bikes and people walking. We spend our time at the back of the shop where the light is a bit better for soldering and looking at small parts. There are always half-finished computers sitting on the workbenches. We have a shelf full of spare parts, mostly things we have taken out of old machines that were beyond saving. People come in because their laptop screen broke or the machine just will not turn on. We tell them to leave it with us for a day or two so we can find the problem. We do not have a fancy waiting area for customers. There is just a single plastic chair by the door. The floor is concrete and we have wires running along the walls in every direction. It is a bit of a mess, but we know where everything is kept. Sometimes someone brings in a computer full of dust and we have to take it outside to blow it out. We have been here in Pallikkulam for a few years now. The shop next door sells snacks, so we are never hungry during our shifts. We use old screwdrivers and some tools we have had since the day we started. It is not a corporate service center. We just fix things for the people around here.
