Thai Style Garage

My car had some problem, it makes this sharp noise every time i start then after it warms up the noises stops. Actually my car is getting pretty old now. I think almost 8 years at least. So it isn't at obvious right???

I went to a local garage, the ones you probably won't see in Europe, might be possible to find in small towns across the U.S.A. But funny that now a days even in Bangkok it's getting hard to find these old fashion entrepreneurial own.
See How Homey it looks like?

Now you see those big franchise like A.C.T and B-Quick to name a few on every big intersections. Those one with the clear and hi-tech quality machines, offering a great waiting room with sub-cool air condition and a T.V.

Yes! it feel much better it also helps lighten your pocket.
Old style reparing

The one i visited were hot, oil smelly and a terrifying toilet kind. But i had my friend pick up me for coffee any way.

On the day i had a nice feeling about this old garage. Funny that there were shops like this long down the road. They actually act as a cluster each shop having their own specialty.
Opposite their is a motorcycle shop, then there is a truck shop.

Well noted that i was a nice place to burn your time but it gave me the feeling that i'm supporting something local. Not big names, not commercial not just to be trenddy (if i had children they might think it's a stupid ideal).

But on that day i was happy, to be a little old fashion.
