mechanics? male Vs female (is there females?)

[red_vb]

ih all im just going to ask this question, "would you take/want a female working on your car?" just pondering if i should change career paths and start studying to be a mechanic? im currently in retail?

i would have a female work on my car as long as she was fully qualified :thumbsup:

i think this would be the case with most other members on this forum too

Listen i dont think it makes a difference when it comes to technical trades such as a mechanic, if you are male or female. Of course it is a male dominated trade. just like any of them. Been a mechanic takes brain not brawn. You wouldn't take your car to a mechanic who was dumb as a brick wall??? would you now

I wouldn't think twice about it. I imagine that once you had a business set up word would get around about your work (good or bad), just like it does with every other mechanic.
As long as you are qualified and had a good name there shouldn't be a problem

I couldn't give a **** whether the mechanic was male or female, as long as they do the job properley, they could be an alien for all i care. It's all about the best person for the job required, if the female is better than the male applying for the job, then so be it.

takes just as much brawn and brain to do the job, being able to lift and support large gearboxes, 4wd wheels etc is a pretty large part of the trade,

i know a few chicks that are mechanics, nothing wrong with it, but ill say they generally arnt that girly girly if you know what i mean

Can't ever recall seeing a female mechanic, but as long as she knew what she was doing there's no problem, same as applies for a bloke.

There's a certain amount of brawn involved, I'm sure all of us have had our share of bolts that just don't want to budge, and as Andy says, lifting heavy objects has been known to happen...
