    This is awesome, my daughter didn't want to use tools because "only boys can use those" she said, so i had to show her that a girl can work on stuff. so basically, thank you for the video so i can show her that it is indeed possible.

If u love working with cars that much its just a small price to pay for doing something u love. Good luck from a fellow girl wanting to be a mechanic !

    My mom was a car mechanic, and now I am an industrial mechanic. One of my sister's works on cars.
    My dad probably couldn't change a flat tire.
    I remember being a little kid, getting to help my mom pull the engine out of the two cars my inept dad blew up(drove the Cadillac without oil, put diesel in the gasoline Volvo).

    I've been working on trucks for 19 years now and I hope to see more women in the workshop in the future. It's a real macho world in most workshops and I'm convinced female mechanics are a big plus for everyone. It's not about the plumbing you have between your legs, it's about the skills you are able to develop.
    On the "strength" topic: if you need a lot of strength, you're probably not working clever enough. These days mechanics have a lot of tools to ease up on heavy lifting and other heavy procedures. You have to take care of your body anyway, regardless of your gender. We have a few "gorilla's" in the shop, the nice and skilled type, and even these guys are clever enough to use all kinds of tools to do the heavy work for them.

      It really does suck that there aren't more women in auto tech. I wish I'd had a role model to look up to instead of working on cars out of spite for my uncle after he told me I belong in the kitchen not the garage. Now I'm a certified bitch who would honestly rather die than let a man talk down to me.

    There are two kinds of women that work in fields that are generally all male.
    1. The feminist who only wants to show men that they can do everything men can do, then quit as soon as they find out they can't.
    2. The women who accept their limitations but do the work anyway because they genuinely enjoy it.
    I've seen so many of the former, it's really nice to see one of the latter! Keep up the good work!

But, the industry favors managers, service writers, and the higher ups. The technicians are the working ants and usually work the hardest as well as get paid the lowest too! I left the industry to become a mechanical engineer and im much happier now even though I love fixing cars, the pay was horrible! The nice part is you can do your day job and fix your own cars or your family's cars on weekends and still get the same Joy. Good luck!
