  • Only 2% of Mechanics are Women. She Wants to Change That | Behind the Business
    Jul 31 2026
    Meet Audra, the fourth-generation owner of Great Bear Auto Shop in Queens, NYC. In an industry where only 2 percent of auto mechanics are women, Audra is changing expectations about who belongs in the garage and how a car repair shop serves its community. Growing up with the family business, Audra faced skepticism and pushback but turned every challenge into motivation. She learned on the job, went to trade school, and brought fresh skills and ideas back to Great Bear. Audra transformed the shop's culture, shifting from the stereotypes of the past to build an inclusive, comfortable space for everyone. Her belief in educating rather than intimidating customers is written on the walls and reflected in every service. Each repair is about helping people feel safe and empowered, not just fixing cars. One key moment came when Audra realized many customers felt overwhelmed by car care. She started hosting free monthly workshops for women – creating a welcoming environment where knowledge is shared and stereotypes are left at the door. Today, Great Bear is more than just a family-owned auto repair shop. It is a hub for community empowerment, championing women in auto repair and helping drivers across Queens and NYC feel confident on the road.
