Meet The Iranian Best Friends Breaking Into Auto Repair

Best friends Niloufar Farahmand and Kiana Yarahmadi are trying to break into auto repair – an industry dominated by men in Iran. They first began learning how to fix cars in 2019, documenting their journey on Instagram where they went viral. Their dream is to become the first women in Iran to receive a car mechanics license.

In a series titled “Taking License,” VICE News meets women across Iran who are pushing social boundaries.

CORRECTIONS:

At 2:29, the subtitle states: "I was searching for a trustworthy auto mechanic after my car still wasn't fixed after visiting many others." In error, "Still wasn't fixed after visiting many others," was cut out of the audio. The subtitle is correct.

At 3:15, the subtitle states: "I said, 'Do you think Mr. Ali would allow two people to come?' She told Mr. Ali, and he readily agreed." In error, "He readily agreed" was cut out of the audio. The subtitle is correct.

VICE News regrets these errors.
