All-female auto shop will do your hair, nails while they fix your car

Founded by engineer and mechanic, Patrice Banks, the shop is a stress-free space for women to have their cars serviced and to learn more about vehicles in a respectful and supportive manner. 

GAC was born out of the frustration and mistreatment female customers often face when dealing with male mechanics, and combats it by empowering women to become #sheCANics, a hashtag Banks even uses to describe herself. 

Though GAC has been open near Philadelphia since 2013, the shop’s latest addition, Clutch Beauty Bar, is bringing it a whole new wave of fame. Clutch offers customers manicures, pedicures, and blowouts while they wait for the mechanics to finish with their car. Basically, not only will ladies will leave Girls Auto Club with a freshly serviced ride, but also have traffic-stopping hair and nails.
