How many women rely on their husband or partner to look after the likes of their car’s tyres, oil, water top up and the occasional wee repair…

And how many husbands and partners don’t like to say no when she asks for help even if they aren’t very good at mechanical matters or are so busy it has to wait until they aren’t…

I have just read a blog about this very gender subject at FOXY Choice subscriber Swiftest Aldershot Garage’s website.

We know Swiftest knows how to be a female friendly garage for women drivers in Aldershot but I had no idea of the angst garages can face on occasion when hubby’s mechanical handywork doesn’t pass muster come MOT time!

And the point is, why try to do a job that doesn’t come easy to you and takes much longer than getting the professionals to do it? Not only are there safety implications but this can prove very costly if the car fails its MOT and even worse… if arguments about all this end up in the divorce courts.

Stranger things have happened and the point is made tongue in cheek of course… but it can be a contentious area.

In an industry that isn’t overly famous for being female friendly, FOXY Choice’s garage subscribers know that it’s the people that matter most in a business and that it’s very important to convey a friendly image at all times.

Under normal circumstances it is enough to show their Unipart Car Care Centre credentials, that they care sufficiently to wear a smile & clean overalls and that the workshop is neat and tidy…

But when the staff are handsome too , then that is a bonus for local women drivers as female friendly FOXY Choice garage subscriber Swiftest Aldershot illustrates very well.

As you might expect, this business employs females in what is predominantly a male-dominated industry, has female friendly magazines and knows that a park next door can help Mums entertain young children whilst their car is being MOT’d, repaired or serviced.

Good one Swiftest Aldershot – you are also listed at www.femalefriendlyapproved.com I see.
