If you were replacing an ignition switch I could see wiping down the steering wheel and washing you hands but the droplet that "might" be there if she coughed while driving are not going to jump up and let you inhale them so the mask was a waste.

As a point of fact she was wearing a surgical mask and gloves and I only came close to her to take her CC and let her finger sign on my phone.
I would hardly call wearing a mask while I was working on it a waste. An abundance of caution for me is not even to protect myself as much as to protect others. I have no choice but to interact with people and I don't always know who/when. It would be irresponsible for me to not take excessive precautions if for no other reason than to reassure my customers that I am doing so.

Edit: I should also add that she had gotten out of her car just minutes before. It was still cool inside from the AC running (87° here today) so conceivably droplets could still have been airborne.
