Mechanic Is Mistreated for Being a Woman — Story of the Day

Alex’s dream job as a car mechanic turns sour when her boss, Nathan, and colleagues bully her for being a woman. Nathan dismisses Alex, suggesting she “belongs in a salon,” but reluctantly agrees to give her a chance.

Despite their hostility, Alex remains determined. When Bryan blocks her from working on a car, dismissing her to “take out the trash,” Alex persists. She offers to help a customer, only to be mocked for her pink tools. Nathan reprimands her for scaring the customer away, and the bullying intensifies.

Alex discovers Preston and Bryan’s scam to overcharge a customer for unnecessary repairs. Confronting Preston, she exposes the fraud, leading to Nathan firing her. However, a blogger named Hannah, who was investigating scams, supports Alex, offering her a new opportunity.

At Hannah’s new shop, Preston vandalizes the place, but Alex defends it and calls for help. The incident underscores their mission to support women in the automotive industry.
