BOMBAY MOTOR
STORE was established in 1968 under the able leadership of Mr. R.G.
Shah, as an importer of automobile spare parts. At that time India
with almost no manufacturing base in the automotive segments, was
mainly serviced by European and American companies, leading to
expensive replacement parts to the Indian vehicle owner. |
In order to
provide quality products at competitive prices, in the seventies,
BMS started indigenously manufacturing replacement parts applicable
to vehicles which were then running on the Indian roads.
Manufacturing activity actually started with precision parts like
Carburetor Jets, Needles, floats etc for European & American
vehicles like Austin Morris, Mercedes Benz, Opel, Dodge Etc. and
gradually expanded to other Parts applicable to Engine, Gear Box,
Steering & Suspension. Since then BMS has gained critical
acclaim for its workmanship in the Indian replacement market for all
types of vehicles including four wheelers, cross country vehicles,
light-medium-heavy commercial vehicles plus tractors & farm
equipment, thereby becoming a one-stop-shop for genuine replacement
parts. |
Mr.R.G.Shah was
soon joined by his two sons - Mr. Amrish Shah and Mr. Anup Shah -
who with their techno-commercial background gave a new direction to
the company. To match with the market demand, they brought a new
concept of kit packaging (as generally prescribed by the workshops),
thereby making it convenient for the consumers to have all the parts
in a single pack. They introduced a new trademark - AUTO77 - which
till date specializes in replacement parts for four wheelers and
LCVs, in applications like Overhaul kits for Gear Box, Suspension,
Steering mechanism and Conversion kits for gear change (Column shift
to floor shift) & OF COURSE Individual spare parts. |
During the 1980s
the Indian automobile industry saw the invasion of Japanese
technology in this segment. Needless to mention this brought
prominent players like Toyota, Mitsubishi, Hyundai, Suzuki and
Maruti. This came along with a demand for a new kind of technically
advanced Automobile Spare parts. BMS successfully capitalised on
this opportunity by venturing into developing replacement parts for
the Japanese vehicles. This was a result of continuous Research and
Development and resulted in giving a new business dimension to BMS. |
Impressed by the
quality products, many leading Indian Exporters of Automobile Spare
Parts tied up with BMS to provide them with parts on the basis of
prototypes of international brands. This has proved BMS' credentials
on the international scenario. |
Due to its world
class product, expertise in various automotive segment, quality and
pricing, BMS has now eyed for global opportunities, INDEPENDENTLY. |
BMS has carved
out a niche for manufacturing Spare Parts based on prototypes and
the range includes not only domestic automobiles but major American,
Japanese, and European automobiles. |
