Pam Oakes

Pam Oakes was born in the automotive mecca of the world -- Detroit, Michigan and spent her teen years on Florida's southwest coast. Pam is a fourth generation auto technician: Her great-grandfather Leonard Smith, grandfather Ralph Smith and father Jerry Oakes were all automotive technicians. As a matter of fact, Pam's first auto lesson was from her great-grandfather, Leonard. He showed her how to set the choke on his 1969 Plymouth -- a vehicle she has restored and has sitting in her garage, today.

Pam started Pam's Motor City Automotive and Tires in 1995 and retired in 2015. Pam is a major advocate for car care and education to women and men everywhere.

Most men don’t blink twice before changing a flat tire, replacing a headlight, replacing wiper blades or simply checking basic fluids and preventative maintenance.

Carmine is not a text book on how to be your own personal mechanic. Carmine is meant to give you the power of knowledge and preparedness for your personal needs. It is like having a personal mechanic in your glove box.

We aren’t looking to make you a Master Mechanic!

Let's eliminate the frustration, fear, shame, and anxiety that can go hand in hand with car care.

There is NO One Carmine for Every Car!

Each and Every Carmine is personalized according to the year, make and model of your unique vehicle.

The information below serves as a basic outline of the essential things you must know to save money, to stay safe and to take care of your investment:

1. Recommended tire pressure
2. Recommended fluids & where they go Illustrated for your specific engine
   - Oil
   - Coolant
   - Transmission
   - Fluid
   - Brake Fluid v. Wiper Fluid
    

3. Manufacturer’s recommended Wheel Alignment Specifications

4. Slot for your Registration

5. Slot for your Insurance Card

You will also receive an illustrated picture of your engine with your Carmine. The illustration will clearly indicate the location openings for your vital fluids, which ensures you are able to check them and know what goes in them.

All in One Emergency Tool Kit

Also included with your Carmine, is the Auto Safety Tool Kit, which includes 12 tools to help you in any vehicle emergency.

This tool kit includes the following:

• Emergency beacon and flashlight with 2000X zoom for a focused beam
• Seat belt cutter
• Windshield hammer
• Flat screwdriver and Phillips head screwdriver
• Large/small screwdrivers
• Bottle and can openers
• Scissors
• Knife

Keep one in your glove compartment next to your Carmine, and you’ll always be ready for the unexpected while mitigating emergencies with all of your personalized car vitals.

It is frustrating to not know the basic needs for our vehicles or WHERE to find them. Carmine helps you be an informed, savvy woman driver who knows her car inside out. Safeguard yourself against the unscrupulous auto mechanic with Carmine by your side. You know your car best!

You can know the basics of routine car maintenance and what you have to do to make sure your cars last.

It’s reassuring to know that my car is as prepared as I am to hit the road, whether we’re off to work, heading on a vacation or just taking a leisurely cruise on the weekend!

Every year I take our alignment systems on a comparison test to ensure our accuracy against the largest alignment franchises in the country. I routinely get treated like I have no understanding of what my cars need and I frequently get asked to pay for repairs or fluids that I don't need.

We have seen the horror stories on 20/20 and elsewhere that reveal the unethical practice of price gouging, which is especially common when the customers are women.

When you are on the road alone, be in charge of your car.
Carmine ensures you are safe and prepared.

Don't get me wrong though. The majority of shops are filled with good people. I have many friends in the industry who are providing a service above and beyond what is normally expected.

It is frustrating to not know the basic needs for our vehicles or WHERE to find them. I prefer to have an understanding of things I care about, and believe me, I love my cars and want them to last.

Stretch Goals

1. We want to be the most reliable and trusted site for vehicle owners to obtain basic and critical automotive knowledge. We want to do this by giving our customers exclusive access to future automotive gadgets, tips, and how-to videos while also giving them the opportunity to customize their very own emergency kits based on their unique environment and needs. Such kits could include items like a hot meal maker, cool packs, emergency first aid, a no-connect phone charger and much more.

2. We also want to build an app that will send alerts about routine maintenance and recalls and other general tips for your vehicle.
    
3. The most important goal, however, is to continue making a difference for our customers, the charities we love and the great people who work with us. We treat the people who work with us and our customers like family!
    

Risks and Challenges

Our greatest challenge will be in gathering all of the required automotive data as we grow. We have lined up a couple of resources for reliable manufacturer’s information, but we will always need to do a second (and sometimes third) check to verify that all of the information stays correct and up-to-date.

We do expect some speed bumps as we seek to convey the value of Carmine to everyone with a vehicle, particularly women. Our goal is to provide the necessary knowledge needed for vehicle owners to make informed decisions that will preserve the health of their vehicles.

Regardless of the challenges, I am confident we will bring to life a great product to fill a worldwide need.

We started the QuickTrick portable tools line in our garage and now service 3 of the top 5 fleet vehicle owners in the US and have customers all the way from hot rodders and racers, to custom car builders, fleets, the military and school bus departments. QuickTrick family can now be found in over 105 Countries.

We want to apply that same success to Carmine with your help!

Thank you so much!!
