Going to the mechanic can be intimidating, especially when you don't know much about cars. You're relying on someone else to tell you what's wrong, what needs fixing, and how much it's going to cost.
It’s even worse when you’re a woman. Car repair is a predominantly male field, and you often hear stories from women who say their mechanic talked down to them or tried to swindle them. That’s why many women don’t want to go to the mechanic, especially alone.
