Back in March I received a recall notice letter from my car’s manufacture. The recall was about the airbag of the passenger seat. The letter recommends the car owner not to let anybody sit in the passenger’s seat until the replacement airbag is installed by the car dealer.
I called the local dealer to make an appointment, but they were already full with appointments in March and April. I needed to wait for more than two months. The earliest appointment I could take was today.
My family and I went to the car dealer. When we arrived, there was a long waiting line for the recall repair.
The mechanic told us the repair would take four hours. They offered us a loaner so that we can do some chores while waiting. Our appointment time was 1:30 pm. By the time we finally got to talk with the mechanic, it was already 2:30 pm. The mechanic said the service department will close at 6 pm. In case it takes longer than four hours, we might have to go back home with the loaner and come back tomorrow to pick up my car.
I didn’t like the idea to come back tomorrow by myself. It takes 1.5 hour from my house to the car dealer. I will feel uncomfortable to drive a loaner alone for such a long way.
I mentioned about my situation to the mechanic and asked him to finish it as soon as possible. He promised me that he would do his best.
An interesting thing happen.
When I saw his smiling face, I had a clear vision in my mind that we are going back home with my car, earlier than we think. I gave him a big smile back, and left for the closest mall to kill the waiting time.
While we were shopping in the mall, I got a phone call from the car dealer. The mechanic gave me a good news. They are just done working on my car.
My intuition was right. It was much earlier than we expected. It was before 4 pm.
We came back home safely by my car installed the replacement airbag. Now I can have somebody sit in my passenger’s seat safely.
