About Us

GMT is a new and locally based group of girls committed to breaking social norms and helping other girls do the same by providing free and fun hands-on car basics workshops (i.e., oil changes, fluid refills, etc.) to those interested. So far, we have recruited a number of girls to our team and we expect this number to grow substantially as time progresses. Our vision is to provide not only the technical skills but to instil confidence in girls’ knowledge of car mechanics at NO COST.
​
Though we are currently new and upcoming, our team is committed and ambitious to reaching a point where we can own our shop and provide our own services! 
​On top of planning and providing workshops, we look forward to attending many events in order to spread the word and keep our team growing.
