A garage for only female mechanics....
Is this not sexist or is it for a porno?

If this takes off consider me your first customer if the uniform is short and leaves little to the imagination

I suspect you may fall foul of equality regulations, you can't even ask someone's age so doubt very much you could exclusively employ females.

Ever hear tell of a strange phenomenon known as the Sex Discrimination Act?

Wow, good luck with all the discrmination claims you'll get from rejected male canddiates .....

I can see the point in having a garage staffed by females, would make some female customers feel better about being ripped off, and workers feel less discriminated against etc, but i agree that you would get into trouble with regards to sex discrimination. I am sure that you would be able to achieve your aims and not fall foul of an laws, personally i don't care the gender of who working on my car, and i am sure a girl as happy to rip of people as the lads so i go to garages when i am really really must.

Why? There's a women driver only Taxi firm in the town that I lived and they never had a problem with the law.

apparently not as long as it is less than 5 people
I stand to be gunned down by an employment lawyer very soon
I must admit it is a bit brazen to be asking on pistonheads although I wonder how many guys would take their cars there
Private households and small undertakings and partnerships.

(1)In section 6 of the M1Sex Discrimination Act 1975 (in this Act referred to as “the 1975 Act”), subsection (3) (which excludes private households and undertakings of five employees or less from the operation of the provisions of subsections (1) and (2) of that section) shall cease to have effect.

I'd rather get my car serviced by someone who knows what they're doing

The above is not sexist and in no way reflects my personal views!
