About Us
GMT is an initiative committed to breaking social norms and helping other women do the same by providing fun hands-on car basics workshops (i.e., oil changes, fluid refills, etc.) to those interested. Our vision is to provide not only the technical skills but to instil confidence in women’s knowledge of car mechanics, turning them into confident drivers and smarter consumers.
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.
