Wrenching With Mommy 👩🏻‍🔧🛠️

A year ago I learned how to balance tires, change my brakes and rotors, and replace a fuel pump that caught the gas tank on fire. Grateful that my grandparents have this shop 🤍 #wrenchingwithmommy #womenintrades #bluecollarwomen #workingmomsoflemon8

2025/6/17 Edited to

If you’re a woman looking to break into car repair or just want to learn some skills, this journey demonstrates that anyone can master these tasks, regardless of background. Balancing tires may sound daunting, but it offers a rewarding sense of accomplishment! Additionally, with the rise of 'blue-collar women,' there are numerous resources and communities available to support newcomers in the trade. From workshops to online forums, connections can be made that empower women to embrace hands-on work. The advantages of learning automotive skills are numerous: independence, cost savings on repairs, and the opportunity to bond with family members, as I have with my mom. Engaging in this journey encourages not only personal growth but also encourages others to push the boundaries of traditional gender roles in trades. So grab your tools and let’s get wrenching!
