You're not going to believe this...

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.
 
To be honest, if he is THAT big of a celebrity, you might want to re-think asking to take pictures either of him, maybe even 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.
 
Ditto Neo,

I expect he'd really appreciate being treated like any other guy (at least for the first few jobs)
 
That's really cool. Let us know how it turns out and see if you can share pictures on Autopia. A celebrity click & brag would be cool.
 
I have aregular customer who is a local sports talk show host, another who is an executive for the Texas Rangers and used to do cars for a couple of the Dallas Stars. Treat them just like anyone else and don't pester them for favors and they will be loyal customers.
 
As far as pictures go. Just tell him documenting the car is part of insurance or for records.if he asks. 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.
