Exide Service Station

Being located right on the main road in Mayapuri Industrial Area Phase I means we see a lot of activity. This Exide Service Station is where we spend most of our waking hours. If you’ve ever been to Mayapuri, you know it’s all about hard work and heavy machinery. Our floor is often stained with a bit of oil or battery acid, and there is always a line of vehicles or people bringing in stuff to get checked. It’s a loud place, with the sound of horns from the main road and the tools we use inside. We don’t really have a front desk or a waiting lounge; it’s more about getting straight to the point and fixing what’s broken. We've got tools scattered around and a lot of old batteries waiting to be recycled. It’s hard work, especially when it’s humid out and the fans are just moving hot air around. But we like the routine of it. We’ve got a few guys who have been here for years and know exactly how to handle the equipment. We don’t spend money on fancy signs or advertising. People just find us because they need their batteries sorted. It’s a practical kind of life. We just try to get the jobs finished so people can get back on the road. It’s nothing special, just a regular service station in a very busy industrial part of the city. We just keep working through the heat and the noise every day.
