Also keep in mind, these same shops are likely BS'ing the males who piss off the techs.
I have to admit, although I can put it in my mind that a woman can become a knowledgable, competent mechanic, a tiny red light would come on somewhere within me if it came down to having a woman work on my car. This is a weird thing for me, because a woman who isn't afraid of getting her hands dirty and using tools gives me wood. Guess I'm conflicted....
With that said, I used to own a business that was mechanical in nature (not cars though) and I gave everyone, man, woman, or child, the same exact in-depth that allowed them to know I was going to do a competent job for them.
Perhaps it comes down to people skills? The ones lacking it are giving the ladies the run around maybe?
