GIRLS AUTO CLINIC
Patrice Banks was from a poor family, but she was very intelligent. She studied science at university and became a chemical engineer at a big company in Philadelphia, USA. She earned a good salary and wore smart clothes and high heels in the office. At work, she was respected, but there was one thing she really hated – taking her car to the mechanic! She didn’t understand how her car worked and she felt that the young, male mechanics were behaving to her as if she was stupid. She tried searching for a female mechanic instead ... but she couldn’t find a single one.
That’s why, in her thirties, Patrice learnt to be a mechanic at a night school. Then, she quit her job and worked in a repair shop before opening her own - Girls Auto Clinic. Here, Patrice wears high heels, but she’s still serious about her job. Her shop has an all-female staff and an on-site beauty salon, so customers can fix their hair and nails while Patrice and her team are fixing their cars! Patrice also runs workshops for women to help them understand how their cars work and how to fix them.
1. Patrice didn’t have a lot of money when she was young. _____
