Women with Wrenches
A 2013 study found that mechanics quoted women higher prices if they appeared uninformed about their cars. Smog shop owner and mechanic Angie Hernandez is setting out to educate and empower women by teaching them the basics of car maintenance.
In addition to boosting women's confidence in dealing with mechanics, Hernandez says her workshops are "...my way of showing women how easy things can be to repair your car.”

I love this story, and I immediately liked Angie. Costa Mesa's not that far, maybe I'll stop in and see her in action. Thanks for posting.

Now here's a person who went up against all the odds and succeeded. It couldn't have been an easy road for her, but she stuck to her guns despite all the closed doors she ran into. I know where I'm going next time I need a mechanic who won't see me as an easy dupe. Thanks for sharing!
