About Mechanic Mamma

Automotive knowledge belongs to everyone.

Mechanic Mamma makes car care and mechanical learning approachable for women, kids, families, and community organizations.

Meet Jackie

I’m Jackie Dempsey, the founder of Mechanic Mamma. I’m a mechanic, a maintenance training manager, and a single mom with more than 17 years of experience in the diesel industry.

I created Mechanic Mamma to share useful skills, introduce kids to the trades, and help women feel more confident understanding their vehicles. You should be able to ask a question without feeling embarrassed and leave with knowledge you can use.

Confidence through learning

Our programs connect practical explanations with hands-on activities using models and training aids. From Jr. Mechanics to Women’s Car Care, the goal is to turn curiosity into confidence.
