Automobile Garages

The concept of automobile garages have undergone a sea change over the years, gone are the days when India used to be dotted by the likes of Ambassadors, Fiats and Maruti 800s.

The number of service stations was few and one had to wait for long to get the service they wanted.

In comparison the neighborhood garage provided a personalized service at the convenience of the car owner. So it was convenience rather that quality which used to be the USP of these neighborhood garages..
