Leyla Balouch has had her fair share of bad experiences at auto mechanic shops. But after seeking out the services of MAE, a virtual car-buying service designed to help women with the car shopping experience, Balouch says she's feeling more empowered to take care of her own car. "It was just really interesting to hear that there was somebody who could coach you through a very stressful and frustrating process that most people don't enjoy and that I had never done on my own before," Balouch said.
