Jay Gurudev Tyre

Our shop is tucked into the Radhika Shopping Center over at Law College Square. It's unit 19 in Savli Jagat Plaza. Most days start with us rolling the tyres out front so people can see we’re open for business. It’s a lot of heavy lifting every single morning. People come by when they have a flat or if their treads are looking bald and dangerous. We spend most of our time with grease on our hands and dirt under our nails. The square stays busy with students and folks going to work, so there's always something to look at while we work on the cars. We've got different sizes of tyres stacked up inside the unit. It gets a bit crowded sometimes when we have a big shipment come in. We talk to a lot of drivers about their cars and how the roads are getting worse lately with all the potholes. It’s honest work. We don't have a flashy showroom, just the tools we need and the stock we sell. Sometimes we have a tea from the stall nearby while waiting for a delivery truck to show up in the afternoon. It can get loud with the machines and the traffic, but you get used to it after a while. We just focus on getting the nuts tightened right and making sure the balance is okay for the road. It’s what we do every day from morning until we close up the shutters at night. We’ve been in this plaza for a bit and know the other shop owners well.
