Girls Auto Clinic

Girls Auto Clinic (GAC) is a woman owned and operated business run by Patrice Banks, engineer and automotive technician. It’s no secret that women generally do not understand vehicles – how they operate or how to maintain them.  Most women do not have an interest or knowledge in cars and the automotive industry because historically they have not been the primary group to which the automotive industry markets despite the fact more than half their customers are women. Patrice was once one of these women.  A self-proclaimed “auto airhead,” Patrice has created a business model which supports a need in the lives of millions of women: automotive services based on trust, education, inclusion, and empowerment. Girls Auto Clinic strives to be a visionary leader in the automotive industry by changing the way the industry views and markets to women while also changing the beliefs women have towards the industry through education and niche marketing. Girls Auto Clinic offers trustworthy, open, and down-to-earth dialogue about the workings of vehicles and how to service them through female auto repair garages, maintenance workshops, books, an apparel line, and more! We aim to empower women (and men!) in order to take the fear and uncertainty out of the repair process while giving customers a unique and memorable automotive experience!
