Client Car Broke Down

I'm in South Florida in August and it's still 90 degrees at 5:00 PM. It's HOT AND HUMID my friends. I try to stay in the Air Conditioning on days like these but I am in Real Estate and houses need to be shown and people need to be met. 💦

So this afternoon, my client for the day is ready to head home after a grueling day of home showings and her car won't start. Dead as Dead can be. 

For some reason; I do not have jumper cables (note to self, purchase a set ASAP). Luckily, my client had a set in her trunk. But hey, no battery, no power, no trunk un-lockey.  😦

I crawled into her back seat and found a secret access door to the trunk. Not large enough for a full sized adult to crawl through but large enough for me to reach my arm inside and grab the jumper cables. Yay!!!   😃

My client had no idea how to connect the jumper cables but luckily my dad made me learn at a young age. He did not want me to ever be stranded out somewhere and not be able to take care of myself. Thank You DAD for teaching me a useful life lesson. 😇

I was able to connect the jumper cables and get my clients' car battery charged enough for her to get it started. I told her where the nearest auto parts store is and instructed her to go there. They would be able to diagnose if it is just a bad battery or if the alternator is bad which caused the battery to run down.

She's on her own from here, but I know she'll be in good hands with the AutoZone guys about 6 miles down the road.

Will she buy a house from me? Maybe. Will she have learned a Life Lesson from me today. YES. 🙌

Everyone should be able to jump start their car or change a tire. Especially a single woman. My Dad did not want me to have to be dependent on anyone that may try to take advantage of me. 

Thank You DAD in heaven. I Love You. Till we meet again. 💖
