Jalopnik Blogs On Ask Patty Article "Dipstick Fast Lube"

" I originally came up with the idea for Dipstick a little over two years and until my dream was realized I thought about it non-stop. I have to give total credit for the idea after the engine blew in my Dodge Durango. I had the oil changed and the car was serviced every 3,000 miles and I was trusting mechanics I took my vehicle to time and time again to actually be servicing my car as they should have. I would take my car to them; I would sit in the lobby thumbing through magazines as my car would disappear for about half an hour. Little did I know absolutely nothing was being done to my car. After the damage was done was when I found out it wasn't being serviced. Four thousand dollars later, and completely disgusted with all male mechanics, is when the idea hit me that a woman needed to open up a car maintenance business and never treat their customers the way I was treated."

Preach it sister, and we wish ya well -- we need more women like you running a business that won't treat the fairer and smarter 50% of the population like they're second-class citizens. We know all of you are looking for more information on the company for "research purposes" -- so check them out through Ask Patty. And quit yer oggling!
