“On the Job: Female mechanic comes to customer to service vehicle”
Thursday, August 05, 2010 4:05 AM

(Source: Columbus Ledger-Enquirer)By Andrea V. Hernandez, Columbus Ledger-Enquirer, Ga.

SNIPPET: “Aug. 05—When Renee Floyd first started thinking about establishing a mobile oil changing business, the U.S. Army veteran was a bit worried her gender would be an issue.

The Phenix City woman knew there weren’t many women in the car maintenance business. But she had about 21 years of experience as a light-wheel vehicle mechanic in the military — and she definitely knew how to perform an oil change.

So last summer, Floyd started her own business, BRF Mobile Lube Services. Today, she travels to meet her customers and changes oil on site.

Floyd said she was inspired by one of her Army supervisors, who started his own mobile oil changing business in the Columbia, S.C., area.”
