Description: An Industrial Visit was organized for the final year Mechanical Engineering students to Simran Motors, a reputed Maruti Authorized Service Center, on 16th October 2025. The visit was conducted as a part of the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory (MEL) subject to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and real-world applications in the field of automotive engineering. The visit aimed to provide practical exposure to students about the functioning, servicing, and maintenance operations carried out in modern automobile workshops. The students were divided into small batches to ensure better understanding and close observation of the ongoing maintenance procedures. Each batch was guided through various sections of the service center, where they witnessed multiple operations such as vehicle inspection, engine diagnostics, wheel alignment, wheel balancing, and suspension checking. The technical staff at Simran Motors provided detailed demonstrations of different processes and tools used in the maintenance of vehicles. A special emphasis was given to the Wheel Balancing and Wheel Alignment procedures, where students learned about the working principle of alignment machines, balancing weights, and the importance of precise adjustments in ensuring vehicle stability, tire life, and safety. The students also interacted with service engineers, gaining valuable insights into modern diagnostic equipment, computerized systems, and the workflow management of a professional automobile service station. The visit was coordinated and guided by Prof. Ashfaq Jamkhandikar and Prof. Javed Kazi, along with Mr. Ansar, Non-Teaching Staff from the Mechanical Department. Their guidance and supervision ensured that the visit remained informative, disciplined, and interactive throughout. Overall, the industrial visit proved to be a highly enriching experience for the students, enhancing their understanding of real-world mechanical systems and their maintenance. It helped them relate classroom concepts of the MEL subject to practical industrial applications, thereby strengthening their technical knowledge and employability skills
