After suffering a scam in a mechanic workshop in 2007, businessman Julio Cézar Rocha Sinkunas, 40, decided to open his own workshop – dedicated exclusively to LGBT people. The information is from Paulo Sampaio, columnist for UOL.
In 2017, with his two husbands, visual merchandiser Odair Sinkunas, 59, and salesman Wagner Carlos de Figueiredo, 30, he opened the JOW Centro Automotivo workshop, whose name bears the initials of each member of the “trisal”.
“We serve any customer, of course, but at first we thought about the biggest victims of mechanics, in an environment mostly inhabited by ogres: women and gays,” Wagner told the website.
The three, who are parents of a boy, today have a clientele whose majority is female. Clients make up 70% of the population served by JOW, and they told UOL that they feel more comfortable in the “trisal” workshop than in others, as they convey confidence and the environment is not hostile for women.
