Have you ever had a WOMAN mechanic work on your car?

Just wanted to do a little survey because it occurred to me that I've never actually seen a woman mechanic at the places I've been too... but I'm hoping there are some out there!

Have you ever had a WOMAN mechanic work on your car?
It doesn't occur everyday but, I did have one work on my car a few months ago. I had transmission trouble. She did a fantastic job, fixed the problem right, and I was very pleased. She was great at what she did!!! Best wishes!!!
Reply:Southern W.Va., mid 70s to late 80s. a shop owned and operated by Louise Crook, reputed to be one of the best mechanics in the county.
Reply:Yes, there are some out there. At the dealer where I take my van, there is at least one woman in the body shop, and one woman in the service dept.
Reply:once..(ten yrs ago)...she charged an arm and a leg but then again she caused the engine to go haywirebut i aint mad at her though, she was a rookie
Reply:I worked with one during the 70's. She was pretty good too. There is a shop in Berkeley Ca. that employs a few female mechanics, Model Garage. I have heard the are a few female instructors that are very good in the Concord Ca. area. My daughter in law took a number of auto repair courses in collage and holds a couple of ASE ratings.
Reply:Yep, truck broke down in BFE (the middle of nowhere) and the only shop i could find was one with a woman as their only mechanic. Tell you what....If I lived with 100 miles of that place, that would be the only shop I'd ever take any of my vehicles to.
Reply:ive met a few woman mechanics actually.
Reply:Never.
Reply:There are not many out there. In 5 years in the industry I have never even had a woman mechanic interview for a job, let alone hired one.





One of my sister stores has a woman mechanic, who is however currently in transition - if you know what I mean.
Reply:we have a woman mech. here where i live and she knows her stuff. there are some good women mechs. out there, but so far i havent had 1 to work on my car, but if she knew what she was doing, i wouldnt mind.
