Patricia Briggs in Moon Called gives us Mercy Thompson. Mercy is a mechanic who owns her own shop. She's college educated with a history degree hence the mechanics shop. She's independent and likes it that way. She likes fixing things, old cars a specialty. She also has an Alpha were as a neighbor and a vampire customer with a VW bus that always needs repair. But Mercy can handle it. Because Mercy is more than she seems too.
