Girls Auto Clinic & Clutch Beauty Bar — **She Can Look Good and Fix It Too.™**

Girls Auto Clinic (GAC) is a Black-Owned, Woman-Led business founded by Patrice Banks, an engineer-turned-mechanic on a mission to revolutionize the auto repair industry for women. Located in Upper Darby, PA, GAC is not just a place to get your oil changed—it’s a safe, empowering space where women can feel confident about car care.
