Whenever I went to a garage, I got ripped off. A lot of mechanics saw a young girl driving a nice Volkswagen Beetle and decided to charge really high prices for simple things. But I didn’t know any better and paid them the money.
I spoke to some of my girlfriends and they felt the same way. It inspired me to set up the My Car Gossip website four months ago to give women advice on cars so they are not so dependant on other people. The blog even advises women on driving in heels.
It’s really popular and grew with the help of social media — especially Twitter.
The website has thousands of views everyday and now functions as a business directory for UK motoring services —I knew I could turn the website into a female-friendly service.
