Tamara Kasper is the owner of Six13 shop in southeast Houston, an auto shop with a focus on helping underprivileged families.

ABC13 caught up with Kasper at Six13 Shop to learn more about how she became a mechanic and her mission to empower the community.

I'm a female mechanic too! Great to see you dominating this field and showing other women how to step up and challenge intimidation with knowledge 💪

[KmakSizzle]

I love how she's teaching her customers. Most mechanics won't let you know nor see that they're ripping you off. I think I could trust her.

Im a diesel mechanic and I look up to women like this!

[timbuktug]

I’m a guy and I salute you for what you do. There needs to be more women working on auto mobiles. I wouldn’t really call it a male’s field it’s just something more guys do out there. What I’m saying is that anyone is qualified to build skills on anything. 😊👍

I'm in Indianapolis, Indiana. She is definitely a woman after my own heart. I've done the same for other women in my community. Nothing is more empowering than going to the junkyard for part's with a group of gals for an alternator on a 02 Chrysler Minivan.
Something else that's proven is men often overcharge women customer's for parts, and labor. Having a woman technician is always a plus.

Wew I admire you for empowering woman.. and you also inspired me that's why I said to myself don't give up self just push 💪

[Taffwildmanofthewoods]

[elchido]

Fellas, this type of woman are keepers.

I want one, that way she can help me with tune-ups

[redwillsdiychargedupvideo]

I just showed your video to my female friend and try to encourage her to do some of the simple things that they’ve been trying to overcharge her for at the shops. Normally I’m not available to her to do these type of simple things but through YouTube videos and just a simple oh, wanting to know she can actually do these jobs herself. She has a chance just solenoid on her 2013 Chevy Malibu above the oil filter. I’m telling her it’s a simple job but she’s looking at me crazy lol.

Well done you. I'm also a woman mechanic too. I've started putting my auto repairs on YouTube that I do all my own work on my vehicles great stuff 👍🚙

[woodybailey]

I think what you are doing is AWESOME!!

[theboredprogrammer]

Not a mechanic but I'm interested in cars. I would love to have some car mechanic lessons as a woman. I own two cars, both are second hand and are with me for a long time. When I get them serviced, I usually watch how auto mechanics service my car which is so fascinating. I learned little things here and there along the way though.

[guddergo]

I came because of the female in thumbnail. Very good content.

[lykieuuyenk]

You are a talented woman, I admire you

[eldanio]

I worked years unpaid to learn. Got some schooling and i do it for free to help people who cant afford the repairs lol i get paid with hugs and friendships lol??while i work other trades for income and experience lol. Fck politics, im glad to see passion.

[malalathesecond]

This is my dream business but still looking for start up capital slowly slowly

[celiarayner]

I'm a woman in grades too if men can do it we

[brotherrubin]

So are men also Empowered in the shop or is it just women Empowered. What is the definition of Empowerment in regards to gender? Hmmm

[Lavapoint]

I love how she’s showing a group of women how to do fix cars lol. imagine it would be sexist and considered “‘mansplaining” for a man to tell a woman how to do something. You know, rather than just look at it as the Teacher and Student. Good on you for choosing to do what you want to do, just let of go of the gender hang ups and go for it.
