I must be the luckiest man alive so far this week, as I was given a 94 golf as my test car by my neighbor, and then this happened...
So here I am, just working on a Maxima that I had gotten the day after I put flyers in the mailboxes in my neighbor hood. I heard the phone ring, so I stopped my work and ran to pick it up. It was a man whom introduced himself as STEVE CARELL. I had heard rumors that he had purchased a house in my neighborhood, but really didnt take it too seriously. I mean, this guy is BIG now, with 40 year old virgin and the officereally jumpstarting his career. Any way, I almost dropped the phone when I heard who it was. He told me that he wanted his Land Crusier detailed, and asked me when I could do it. I said anytime, and we now have an appt. for next week. I am really psyched, and cant wait to meet him.
Of corse there'll be pics, and Ill see if I can take a pic of him and the car. | |

As much as we would love to see it, I would wait until you possibly get some repeat business from him, before the camera comes out. I'm sure others can chime in. | |

I expect he'd really appreciate being treated like any other guy (at least for the first few jobs)

Treat them just like anyone else and don't pester them for favors and they will be loyal customers. | |

Just dont ask him to pose or be in any of them. Treat him like you would your next door neighboor and what ever you do, dont ask him if he loves his lamp. | |
