I'd tell him, without getting a raised voice or huffy, that you need it. There is a guy about 30 minutes from me who rebuilds alternators and starters. He does excellent work, if you live in the city limits and are a regular. In my case, I am not a regular and I do not live in the city limits. I had dropped off a starter and a generator about 10 months ago. Since I never got his phone call, I'd stop in about every month or month and a half just to check up on my stuff. I'd get the same answer every time: "I'm so busy, but I'll get to it this weekend." And I know the guy always IS busy. But a week ago, I stopped in and he was just shooting the sheet with a guy for about 30 minutes while I patiently waited. When he finally got to me, I said that I need to pickup my generator and starter, one way or another. He said that they weren't done, but again, he would get to them this coming weekend. I told him that I needed to take them home. I picked up the same box that I had brought them in and I kept hearing that he would get to them this weekend, even as he followed me to the truck. As I loaded them up, he told me "Thanks!". I then told him in a low, polite voice "Thanks for not charging me rent." Hopefully, no feelings were hurt, but since I'm not one of his regulars, I guess it doesn't really matter. I just didn't want the guy to someday die and me having to persuade some executor of the state that the stuff in the box actually was mine.
