Outside most fuel stations in India there is a queue that never quite ends. A scooter with a slipping clutch. A hatchback two months overdue for its service. A taxi whose owner cannot afford even one day off the road. Vehicle numbers climb every single year, organised repair shops have not kept pace, and that gap is the whole opportunity.
