Shakti Motors

Shakti Motors is tucked away near Toran Bawari on the Link Road. It’s a busy area with a lot of grease and the sound of engines. We mostly work on old bikes and some cars that need a bit of extra care. It’s a workshop, so it’s naturally messy with tools lying around and oil stains on the floor. I started working on engines when I was a teenager, helping out at another garage before I opened this one. We don’t have a fancy waiting room with air conditioning. Customers usually just hang around or go get a tea nearby while we look at their machines. We tell people what’s wrong in plain words. If a part needs replacing, we show you the old one so you know we aren't lying. The location at Udaipuria Jagir 7 is easy to find if you know the landmark of the old Mewar Motor area. We have a couple of boys who help with the heavy lifting and cleaning the parts. Some days are slow and we just sit and talk, other days we have more work than we can handle and stay till midnight. We aren't the cheapest, but we aren't the most expensive either. We just do the job properly so the vehicle doesn't break down again in two days. It’s hard work and our hands are always black with soot, but it’s what we know how to do. We just keep the motors running.
