    When I was schooling in Kandy, in thevearly 1960s, Walkers had the premier motor repair garage in Kandy, on Dalada Veediya. ( not sure what it was called then). My uncle, Mike Fuad, with whom I boarded, took his car for repairs to Walkers. He knew a Mr. Liyanage who worked there. The multistoried Kandy City Center occupies the ptemises now. Thousands of people pass through everyday, but I wonder how many can recall Walkers.
