Sexism in the automotive industry, part 651.

The British ClickMechanic held a sample of 182 dealers. There were bids requested for various activities, to check whether there are price differences were between the male and female applicants. And then the open door of the day: yes, garages (in this case in England) allow women more docks for repairs. For women, you can all delude said the garage mechanic in the year 2015.

As an example, a new clutch for a Ford Focus from 2011: the men were an average of 803 euros aftikken, for the females was the amount at 866 euro. Only 6 percent of the approximate garages accorded equal rates for both sexes.

In Birmingham was the difference the greatest and pay women, on average, 31% more, followed by Manchester (28%), and Glasglow (20%). Only Sheffield and Edinburgh are some more Asha ten Broeke-minded, and let men understand more to pay.

So ladies, if you have a moment to search for that women-only garage from the ground pounding, this is the moment.
