Always a great thing. The more—the better. It’s a worthy topic for discussion. Are women represented in auto repair? Are there jobs that may be too physically demanding? So they have the same sales and mechanical skills etc? If you’re asking yourself these questions, you’re behind the times. Women kick butt, from service managers to mechanics, and they excel at their position.
Whether it’s a service technician, a parts manager, or a warranty clerk, excellence depends on the individual. That is the way it is in life, and the way that it will always be. The reason that you don’t see more females is that it’s a male-dominated industry, from the top to the bottom. The good thing is that the industry is changing its perception of what it takes to be exceptional in the field of automotive technology. And that’s good for the world in general. There’s good information here. Check it out.
