- What do you do when you can't find a female mechanic? You become one! Patrice Banks discusses "auto airheads" in this compelling talk about women who feel overwhelmed, manipulated, and belittled by the automotive industry - and what she's doing to fix it.
Patrice Banks is an automotive technician who set out to change the face of the automotive industry by building a company around car buying and repair services for women. Fed up with not knowing anything about her own vehicle, Ms. Banks established Girls Auto Clinic (GAC). GAC provides interactive vehicle operation and service workshops that give women practical advice on maintaining and caring for their cars. Ms. Banks previously worked for more than 12 years as an engineer, manager, and leader at DuPont.

I just had the wonderful opportunity to meet semi one-on-one with her, via a Teams meeting at work. It was myself and about 100 other participants and she was fantastic!
Love it, Patrice! Just bought your book. (Can’t believe I waited this long… 😳)
Heard your interview on NPR in 2018. Am in the search for a new car. Happy to have your guidance. 💜👍🏻 🚗
We need this school in Oregon so I can go to it! ♥
I was that girl, I gave up my dreams after my own mother told me I would never be successful. I miss it so much, I'm going to pause my culinary degree to start some auto classes
Hi
Why does a female driver need a female mechanic? Women are just not interested in how cars work. They want to use them, not learn them. Why do you want to get women to learn this? Women choose other occupations on their own. Not because such are the customs. Not because someone is forcing them. It is their free choice. Women are more interested in people. Men in things. This is why there are more men among engineers and women among nurses.
Ps.
My wife is a mechanical engineer and my eldest son is studying nursing. So please do not accuse me of stereotypical thinking.
I'm interested in how cars work. I love cars and motorcycles and the workings of an engine intrigue me extremely. Just as much as the joy riding, driving, or drifting gives me. When I find another girl who is into these kinds of things: racing, cars, or bikes, it's super exciting and we are immediately best friends bc it is so rare to come by.
@@narutostarfox44 This is why i wrote "more interested in" instead of "only interested in". Some women are unique and special :)
I love cars always have has nothing to do with gender
@@claudiaalmarales2588 If love of cars has nothing to do with gender, how do you explain this simple mathematics that over 90% of professional drivers or car mechanicals are men? There is nothing wrong with the genders being different. Different doesn't mean better or worse. it's wonderful that we are different.
She looks so good.
