Where we started
Truck parts.
More than 40 years ago, Mr Manjit Singh opened a truck parts counter. One wrong part cost a trucker a full day on the road. We no longer sell truck parts, but his rule still runs this store: get it right the first time.
Our story
It started with one man and a parts counter.
The parts got smaller. The promise stayed the same size.
More than 40 years ago, Mr Manjit Singh started this business selling truck parts. It was honest, heavy work. His customers ran trucks for a living, and their income stopped the moment a truck did. So he built his name on one promise: the right part, the first time.
As India changed, the counter changed with it. Families began buying cars, and Mr Manjit Singh moved with them, from truck parts into spares for Indian cars. New models kept arriving, and each one had to be learned part by part.
Then came the premium cars: Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Jaguar and Land Rover. They are built to tight tolerances and they punish guesswork. That suited us. Checking a part against the chassis number before it leaves the counter is how this business has always worked.
Today we no longer deal in truck parts. Dasmesh Auto is a premium car spares store at Opera House, Mumbai, and the business Mr Manjit Singh started is carried forward by his family. Four decades on, you still deal with the people who own the store, and you still get a straight answer.
