Innovative idea offers women peace of mind in repair shops
We at www.repairshopwebsites.com have discovered a significant statistic when it comes to women and automotive repair experiences. According to the article, “Women should study car repair 101” which originally appeared in The Detroit News, a shocking 89 percent of women reported to the Car Care Council that they felt treated differently by their mechanic because they are female. To turn this statistic around, Gail Dunn, a car-savvy lady, started a program geared toward women and caring for their automobiles—the Women’s Automotive Connection. Dunn’s organization offers a consultation and referral service for a reasonable fee that advises women on trustworthy, female friendly repair shops. Another service she provides is her auto repair boot camp for women. Basic lessons about cars are offered for women to gain background knowledge needed to navigate their way through getting their car fixed and to know their car operates under the hood.
