Mab specifically takes credit for the car, it's the plot hook for the conclusion.

I will have to go re-read that section.
Can you point me to the right chapter?

--- Quote ---I didn’t show any of the nervousness I was feeling. I think. “They both damaged the company car in the course of their attack.” Mab stared at me for a long moment. “The automobile I had prepared for your use,” she clarified. “Yes.” “It is damaged now?” “Yeah,” I said. “I’ve got Mike on it.” “Visibly? That others may see?” “It’s repairable,” I said. “But yes.”

With a microhip in it if I recall correctly (and as far as I understand it, the US is way behind Europe for that). Don't have the book, so I cannot verify, but I recall Dresden realising that she could use it meant that she was supernatural and not a wizard/sorcerer.

We have plenty of chipped credit cards. Even the riff raff like me had one for years.

Could still be read as "I had [flunky's name] prepare it." if it is done under Mab's orders, she prepared it. I should think Mab might find it useful to have a human agent or two besides the Knight who can deal with the mundane things. Renting or buying a car. Touching iron. Maintain a safe house of sorts. Maybe even intelligence. As noted, a powerful supernatural should have no issue getting a nice financial footing. Heck, send out a subject or two to be human models - they look good enough, would get worldwide travel, "ins" in many circles, make big bucks.... get moles out there.
Might even explain why Christie Brinkley looks the way she does at like 65. She ain't human.
