What is the problem?

As an all female group, we realized we all had similar experiences when going to the mechanic. The anxiety of not knowing about our car, the fear of being scammed by mechanics and a bundle of other issues makes car maintenance a stressful endeavor. 

Why does this matter?

Upon further research into this idea, we discovered that this was a common phenomenon with women, particularly in Generation Z. We wanted to find a way to relieve some of the stress with this common problem.
