What You Will Pay (Quick Look)
| What You Need | Where to Go | Price (PKR) | Best For |
| Body parts, mirrors, lights | Sultan Ka Khoo | 500 – 15,000 | Used. Cheap. Wide variety. |
| Engines, gearboxes | Mithu Ka Ahata | 25,000 – 300,000 | Japanese engines. Reliable. |
| Suspension, brakes, tires | Babu Mohalla / Kamran Market | 1,000 – 8,000 | New parts. Aftermarket. |

My advice? Start at Babu Mohalla for new parts. Then go to Sultan Ka Khoo for used. And if you go to Chah Sultan? Take a mechanic with you. I am serious.
The Story (Because Every Fix Has a Story)
Last week. My car. Front right side. Noise.
Kharr kharr.
Only when turning. Like something loose. Or broken. Or both.
I went to a mechanic. I-8 wala. Old guy. Grey beard.
He looked. Two minutes. Pressed something. Listened.
He said: “Control arm.”
I said: “Kitna?”
He said: “5000 rupees. Part ka.”
I said: “Bhai. Itna mehnga? Nahi ho sakta.”
He shrugged. “Naya part hai. Market price hai.”
I thought. No. Let me check myself.
So I took one day. Drove to Saddar. I know Saddar. Passengers there. Markets there. But buy car parts? Never.
Big mistake? Not doing it earlier.
1. Where I Went (And Why)
Saddar Rawalpindi car parts market is not one market. It is a maze. Different bazaars. Different specialties. Easy to get lost. I did.
Let me break it down.
🏪 Babu Mohalla — The Professional One
Professional vibe. Higher prices. But quality is better.
I went to Sultan Auto Stores. Address: 337-338, Babu Bazar, Saddar.
Guy there. Older. Grey beard. Glasses.
Looked at my old control arm. Didn’t even blink.
He said: “Yeh lo. 4500 ka.”
I said: “New?”
He said: “Brand new. Aftermarket. Same quality. Lekin price half.”
I inspected it. Welds clean. Bushings tight. Looked good.
Price: 4,500 PKR
Another shop in Babu Mohalla gave me a non-OEM part for 3,800 PKR. Quality okay. Not great. For suspension? Do not go too cheap. Safety hai.
Verdict: Good for new parts. But not cheapest.
🏪 Sultan Ka Khoo — The Giant (900 Shops)
This place is huge. Over 900 shops. Overwhelming. But amazing variety.
I walked for 15 minutes. No one talked to me. Ignored. Too busy. Frustrating.
Then. Young guy. Clean shaven. Good English actually.
I showed him my old part.
He said: “Used chahiye?”
I said: “Haan. But good condition.”
He went inside. Came back. Dusty. But no rust.
He said: “2200 ka.”
I asked: “Guarantee?”
He laughed. “Market hai bhai. Koi guarantee nahi. Dekh lo pasand aaye to le lo.”
At least he was honest.
Price: 2,200 PKR
Then another shop. Same market. Better condition part. 2,800 PKR. I bought that.
Verdict: Cheapest. No warranty. Good if you know what you are looking at.
🏪 Mithu Ka Ahata — Engines Only
Specialist market. Engines. Gearboxes. Transmissions.
I found a wholesaler. Abdullah Ji Traders. Guy named Salman.
He said: “Bhai, control arm? Hum engines karte hain. Toyota 2NZ. Honda L15. Yeh part Mithu mein nahi mile ga.”
He was right.
I asked engine prices anyway:
| Engine | Price (Used, PKR) |
| Toyota 2NZ (1500cc) | 220,000 – 280,000 |
| Honda L15 (1500cc) | 200,000 – 260,000 |
| Honda L13 (1300cc) | 180,000 – 230,000 |
Verdict: Go here for engines. Not for small parts.
🏪 Kamran Market — Tires and Accessories
Tires. Wheels. Accessories.
I asked for a new tire (175/65 R14, local brand):
- Shop A: 6,500
- Shop B: 6,000
- Shop C: 5,800 (final)
Same tire. Different prices. Always ask 3 shops.
LED headlight bulbs (H7):
- Shop A: 1,800
- Shop B: 2,200
- Shop C (passenger recommended): 1,400
Same bulbs.
Verdict: Good for tires and accessories. But walk around first. Do not buy from first shop.
🏪 Chah Sultan — The Risky One
I almost did not go here.
A passenger once told me: “Bhai, Chah Sultan mein sasta milta hai, lekin dhoka bhi hota hai.”
He was right.
I found a control arm for 1,500 PKR.
Very cheap. But when I looked closely? Rubber bushings cracked. Metal rusted. One weld looked… strange.
I asked the shopkeeper: “Yeh theek hai?”
He said: “Chalay ga. Hum ne lagaya hai.”
But my mechanic friend taught me: never compromise on suspension. Safety hai.
Verdict: Only for non-critical parts. Mirrors. Interior trim. Plastic covers. For mechanical parts? Spend more elsewhere.
2. Price Comparison Table (Control Arm — Toyota Corolla)
| Shop | Price | New/Used | Quality |
| Sultan Auto Stores (Babu Mohalla) | 4,500 | New | Good |
| Second shop (Babu Mohalla) | 3,800 | New | Okay |
| Sultan Ka Khoo Shop #1 | 2,200 | Used | Fair |
| Sultan Ka Khoo Shop #2 | 2,800 | Used | Good |
| Chah Sultan | 1,500 | Used | Poor |
| Mithu Ka Ahata | Not available | N/A | N/A |
I bought the 2,800 one. Installed it. Noise gone. Still working after 2 weeks. Alhamdulillah.
3. Mechanic Fitting Cost
| Mechanic | Cost |
| My regular guy (I-8) | 800 |
| Mechanic near Babu Mohalla | 500 – 600 |
| Mechanic inside Sultan Ka Khoo | 400 but risky |
I paid my regular guy 800. He took 30 minutes. Did it properly. Sometimes paying more is worth it.
4. New vs Used — What to Buy
| Part | New | Used | Why |
| Control arms, shocks | ✅ | ❌ | Safety. Do not compromise. |
| Brake pads, rotors | ✅ | ❌ | Your life depends on brakes. |
| Engine (tight budget) | ❌ | ✅ | Japanese used engines are reliable. |
| Mirrors, bumpers, lights | ❌ | ✅ | Cheap. Easy to inspect. |
| Tires | ✅ | ❌ | Never buy used tires. |
| Interior parts | ❌ | ✅ | Cosmetic. Save your money. |
5. Tips from a Driver (Learned the Hard Way)
Tip 1: Take Your Mechanic With You
Seriously. My mechanic friend saved me from buying a bad part in Chah Sultan.
Tip 2: Sultan Ka Khoo Needs Patience
900 shops. Easy to get lost. Walk 10 minutes. Look at 3-4 shops. Compare. Then buy.
Do not buy from the first shop. Price drops 20-30% at shop number 3.
Tip 3: Beware of Stolen Parts
If a deal is too good? Think twice.
One wholesaler told me: “Imported engines from Japan, Singapore, South Korea flow in at a high rate. Hard to know what is legitimate.”
Buy from established shops. Ask for bills. Even handwritten.
Tip 4: Cash is King
Most shops no cards. Bring cash. Bring small bills. Trying to pay 2500 with a 5000 note? They send you away.
Tip 5: Know When to Walk Away
Shopkeeper rude? Walk away. Price wrong? Walk away. Part looks damaged? Walk away.
900 shops. You will find another.

7. What I Learned
One week ago? I did not know Babu Mohalla from Sultan Ka Khoo. I would have paid the mechanic 5000. Maybe more.
But I took one day. Drove to Saddar. Asked questions. Compared prices. Bought smart.
Saved 2200 rupees.
That is fuel for a week. Dinner for two days.
A passenger once told me: “Mohsin bhai, garibi se nahi, jaahili se nuqsaan hota hai.”
He was right. I did not know. Now I do. Now you do too.
