Well, let me just recapture the situation of what happend last weekend. Last Sunday, by any means, could not get the car to start. Suspected 2 possible causes or defects
1) Dead battery
2) the fuse box
Paranoid, I immediately gave brother Larry from NSX modified a quick call about the problem. No one answered, so I left a quick voice message. After calming myself down, I realized the possiblity of "jump-starting" my car. However, it was already pretty late at night (didn't want to bother my neighbors and plus, I did not have a jumper cable handy) so had to wait until the next day (Monday) to figure out what to do. Surprisingly, Larry returned my call that afternoon and told me that he would stop by my house after work. At first I thought I was dreaming...can a well respected and an extremely busy NSX mechanic stop by my house to just fix a car with a possible dead battery. For owners in Sol.Cal, I live in Torrance by the way, and it takes approxiametly 40-45 mintue drive from Huntington Beach to Torrance. And yes, it really did happen....10:45 pm Monday night, Larry and Boosch showed up, and immediately went into action. Took them less than 5min to figure out the problem (and it was a dead battery, doh!). Larry told me that he will drive my car back to the shop to replace the battery for me, and will be ready tommorow morning for pickup.
Two things really struck me....First, there is no way that a mechanic (of any kind) will do this kind of favor for his/her "customers" (at least speaking from experience), unless he/she is an extremely close "friend." Second, I am suprised that Larry treated me more as a "friend" than a "customer." For those of you who know Larry and Boosch extremely well understand what I am talking about.
My conclusions are
1) I respect someone who can scarifice his/her own time for the sake of others, and without making any lame excuses.
2) I will never bring or service my car anywhere except NSX modifed, bceause Larry and his team treats you as a friend more than a customer. A truely respected NSX mechainc that loves his job and loves to make friends, what more can you ask for?
