***
Robin Reneau, also known as Rob the Blonde Mechanic, is a shop owner and mechanic who transformed her frustration with auto maintenance into a thriving career. Initially, she felt ripped off and overcharged for car repairs, so she educated herself on auto maintenance and fell in love with the industry. Despite her passion, Robin faced resistance when seeking hands-on training, often being relegated to the role of service advisor because others thought she was "too pretty" to be serious. She excelled in this role, which provided for her and her daughter, but she wanted more. Determined, she enrolled in an automotive technology program and became a mobile tech upon graduation. Using her extensive experience as a service advisor, service manager, store manager, and tech, she finally opened her own shop.
Her shop now houses three technicians and a service advisor and includes Glam Studios, offering spa services like nails, lashes, and a massage chair. This unique business model is geared towards females, demonstrating that one can be both pretty and skilled in the trades.
Listen in as she openly describes her struggles as a high school dropout, single mom and being a female of color in a male dominated industry. Robin attributes her success to a strong conviction of self, knowing what she wants, learning from every experience, and perseverance. With a huge smile, sense of humor, and pure passion and drive, Robin candidly shares her not always smooth journey to success.
Make sure you check out this week’s guest and see all the awesomeness she has been up to since this aired.
