Melissa Petersmann’s (@thedieselqueen) TikTok clip begins with her washing a lifted pickup truck.

While Petersmann rinses the vehicle, overlay text appears, reading: “You just pretend to be a mechanic,” to represent the common criticisms that she experiences from certain male viewers online.

But the caption on Petersmman’s video read: “This [job] is my heart and soul.”

Next, this female mechanic’s clip transitions to compilation footage of her rolling up her sleeves to work on cars with heavy machinery.

This auto work includes Petermann welding parts, performing oil changes, and lifting large diesel components with a chain hoist.

Viewers quickly voiced their support for this talented technician’s lifestyle as a female in a male-heavy profession.

One TikTok user wrote: “I love to see females in the heavy diesel field; keep up the great work.”

Another TikTok account commented: “Don’t sweat the haters; you sure do a great job.”

A third replied: “I am proud of you. You’re a success, and don’t let anyone say anything different. You totally got this.”

But this wasn’t the first time Petersmann had used TikTok to reflect the adversity she has faced as a female in her career.

In a separate video, Petersmann said: “I have a reason why when I show up at the parts store, I make sure I don’t clean my hands, and I don’t put on nice jeans.”

“And there’s a reason for that. One reason is that the last time I wore a nice dress to the part store, I had a creepy old guy buying parts for his…I don’t even know what it was.

“And [he] turned around and had the audacity to look at me up and down, and was like, ‘can I help you with something?’

“Like b**ch, I think I can f***** handle myself.”

Usually, staff members at the parts store don’t take her seriously when she is well-dressed.
