Great idea! I've got so much wrong with my car, I can't decide where to start with the questions sometimes

I am not and may never be TRULY mechanically inclined, but among the ridiculous things mechanics have pulled on me over the years is when I was presented with an estimate for NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR BRAKES I think this clearly illustrates the need for women to be as informed as possible when purchasing/repairing their cars.

This problem was corrected by replacing the master cylinder, $70. If I had not been smart enough to walk out, they would have taken a very large chunk of my money. I did not have to do anything further to my brakes for another year and never did anything besides normal maintenance (no more than $200) to that car for brakes for the 6 more years I owned it.

If this is what it takes for women to be able to ask reasonable questions and get helpful answers from decent people without being subject to abuse JUST because they are women, I hope it works out and I'll try to help out any way I can.
