I’m over 50 years old

Mechanic Shop Femme may earn a small commission on purchases made through this post.

I’m over 50 years old and have owned at least four cars — yet know so little about them! I’ve had a great Prius and mechanic since ’09, but as I contemplate getting a new car — on my own — I wanted to feel more grounded in what to know and do. Chaya’s class was very well organized around several topics and delivered in a clear, no BS manner. She’s excellent at navigating the technology of FB live + PowerPoint + answering questions as they roll in, even repeat questions. She even throws in some good life lessons, e.g. how to set boundaries with pushy sellers, confidently stating what you need, and negotiating with respect. And I can’t overstate how important it is to support a woman- and queer-owned biz, especially one that’s carved out a special niche in a dominantly male- and cis-heavy industry.
