I my experience when dealing with any "handyman" they have always been curtious but at the same time I feel that they try to either dumb down when they are talking to females or in some instances try to take advantage of the situation by trying to make it seem as though they need unnecessay parts to be replaced.

That has alot to do with women being ignorant to the car industry and the mechanics that go along with it. I dont mean that in a bad way because many men are ignorant to things that many women are associated with. But you have to understand that they are in the business to make their company money. Your in school to get a better job and make your company money. Sometimes what the mechanic may be suggesting is preventative maintenance to help avoid costly repairs, so in actuality he is helping you. The whole saying of if its not broke dont fix it is bull. I believe people are experts for a reason and are only trying to help you out. There are snakes out there but there are also good people out there. the only way to really avoid this problem is to learn about cars yourself or bring along someone who does. Now a days being a woman is not an excuse for not knowing something.
