Audra grew up changing oil and swapping tires. She's a fourth generation mechanic and owner of Great Bear Auto Repair in Queens, NY. Since taking the reins at Great Bear she's also started WomenAutoKnow.com, a site that teaches people how to properly maintain their cars and helps them understand what to expect when taking them to a mechanic. Listen to this episode to hear Audra's perspective on running her business in a mostly male industry, dealing with the preconceptions that mechanics are crooks, and quadrupling her revenue since the recession.
