Woman Rewrites Rules in Auto Transmission Family Business
Debi Holtom, 46, runs Affordable Transmissions on Florence Avenue with husband Jim. A mother and grandmother, she learned the trade after leaving a china factory job to keep the business in the family. She faces skepticism from male customers but builds respect through hands on work, while handling admin tasks and customer service. Her son joined the business, and Holtom encourages women to pursue male dominated careers as liberating and worthwhile.
