Shree Diesel Engineers

You can find us at Shree Diesel Engineers in the Sat Kaiwal Building on Silvassa Road. We are at number 4. This place is basically a workshop for diesel engines. It is a greasy, oily kind of job, so our clothes usually have stains on them by noon. We work on all sorts of engines, taking them apart and trying to figure out why they stopped running. The floor is concrete and usually has some patches of oil that we haven't scrubbed off yet. We have a lot of heavy tools and spare parts sitting on metal shelves along the walls. It’s not a place for sitting down much. We are usually leaning over a machine or crawling under something with a flashlight. The Silvassa Road traffic is constant, and the sound of trucks passing by is the background music for our day. We get a lot of regular drivers who stop by when they hear a weird noise in their motor. We don't have a receptionist, so if the phone rings, whoever has the cleanest hands usually picks it up. It’s a straightforward business. We fix things, we test them, and we move on to the next one. Sometimes a repair takes a few hours, and other times it takes a few days. We just deal with it as it comes. It is hard work, but it’s what we have done for years.
