Get Certified Female Friendly

Being "Certified Female Friendly®" adds a new dimension to customer service. Not that we at AutoAid in Van Nuys California haven't been Female Friendly for the past 31 years in business, but becoming an AskPatty.com Certified shop has enhanced our presence in the independent automotive service arena. Primarily, it has given me an EDGE in marketing my shop to women in the community, in that just the mere mention of being Certified Female Friendly brings comfort to women who in the past have dreaded going to a mechanic without a male figure at their side for fear of being "ripped off". Women appreciate the fact that AutoAid staff has taken the time to train to be better listeners, maintain cleaner shops and be patient with their needs. We have also benefited greatly by Jody DeVere's supreme knowledge of Social Media Marketing and her willingness to share that knowledge on a personal basis. It's the sign of the times and either you get on board or you'll be left behind.

Partnering with AskPatty.com is the best business decision I made since I bought this business 3 years ago. My business vision always included being a car business that was safe, honest and welcoming to women. But just telling people we were female friendly did not mean anything, and most women I spoke with were skeptical that it was just a gimmick or hype on my part. So I concluded I needed to have credibility and credentials that would independently confirm and legitimize our focus on women as customers.

Our success as an AskPatty.com Certified Female Friendly® repair shop has been incredible. As more women have become customers and confirmed we are "for real" the word continues to get out. I was invited to join the local NAWBO Chapter, (one of three men) and the Rochester Women's Network (currently the only male member). Both groups have openly embraced and engaged me in their organizations and provided behind the scenes help and ideas to further connect with women and grow my business. We have also received lots of press coverage as the press as gotten word of our business.

Last but not least is the staff at AskPatty.com. They have been a big source of ideas, help, inspiration and feedback as I continue to make this journey. Getting certified is just the beginning of the relationship with AskPatty.com. They are with you for the long hall, and I feel like my AskPatty.com support has developed into long distance friendships.

I have had the pleasure of working with Jody DeVere and her team of experts at AskPatty.com Inc. for the past year here at Mountain View Tire. In working with the AskPatty.com team, it has opened my eyes to the detailed attention and focus that female customers have to come to expect and quite frankly, deserve. It is no secret that female shoppers are predominant financial decision makers, more today than they have ever been. We literally see more female than male customers. Ask Patty.com has shown us ways to connect, identify with and retain this huge customer base. The AskPatty.com micro website drives female consumers to our outlets and provides the user a wealth of automotive knowledge and insight. There are way too many benefits too list. I have personally met with Jody DeVere on several occasions and Jody constantly pursues ideas to help me build trust and relationships with customers through the communities we serve. I am proud to display the AskPatty.com member logo in store windows. We truly value our relationship with the AskPatty.com team.
