Shaik Auto Store

Shaik Auto Store is over in Block B of Auto Nagar, at 54-7-71. If you know the area, it is mostly just rows of shops and a lot of noise from engines and horns. I spend most of my day here surrounded by piles of spare parts and cardboard boxes that need sorting. It gets pretty dusty, especially in the afternoons when the wind picks up around the yard. I started this place because I have always been around cars and it just seemed like the right thing to do to make a living. We have all sorts of stuff crammed onto the metal shelves, from small bolts to bigger engine components that take two people to lift. It is not some fancy showroom with bright lights or air conditioning. Most of the time, I am wiped out by the end of the day from looking through old manuals or trying to find a specific part for a customer who isn't even sure what they need. The floors stay a bit oily no matter how much we try to sweep them. People stop by just to chat sometimes while they wait for their mechanics to finish up nearby. It is a busy life in Auto Nagar and we are just one small part of it. I don’t have a big team, just a couple of us trying to keep things organized. It is honest work and it keeps me busy from morning until the sun goes down.
