Kristi Hudson was interested in working on cars from an early age.
When she was 10 years old, her father took her to a parking lot and taught her how to change her first tire — in the rain.
"He said, 'One day you're going to need this,' " and a flat tire is likely to happen in bad weather.
It helped her feel independent being able to handle car repairs herself, including oil changes.
"It just always intrigued me," she said.
