A comprehensive guide to car ownership and maintenance intended for anyone—regardless of age, gender and experience.
Books about cars are usually geared towards a limited audience: male readers, car enthusiasts, or mechanics. Mechanic Shop Femme’s Guide to Car Ownership and Maintenance is different. In a country where women and members of the LGBTQ+ community are disproportionately impacted by economic injustices, car ownership is often the key to lift marginalized individuals out of poverty. Social media star and automotive expert Chaya Milchtein is a queer woman herself who is familiar with both the importance and the limitations of the male-dominated industry. For example, Chaya understands that a vehicle is an economic necessity which can provide access to career opportunities, economic security, and physical safety. She also understands that women and LGBTQ+ individuals may find it daunting to visit mechanic shops which are run entirely by men.
In Mechanic Shop Femme’s Guide to Car Ownership and Maintenance, Chaya appeals to readers of all identities and socio-economic backgrounds, arming them with the necessary knowledge to navigate the intimidating automotive space. At its core, this book is an accessible and comprehensive guide that will put readers at ease by providing them with basic knowledge about car ownership and maintenance. From budgeting, to negotiation, to inspection, Chaya encourages her audience to make their own informed decisions regarding their vehicles. Mechanic Shop Femme’s Guide to Car Ownership and Maintenance is a must-have purchase— one that will last readers through a lifetime of car ownership.
