I know it’s a long read but cliff notes:
- Got into an accident
- Ben Schaeffer@Daisy Import (NSX-whisperer) fixed my NSX
- I am happy again
- Thanks to Ben and team at Daisy Import!
It was the early evening of 9/24/11 and I was headed to my buddy’s house after a meet and unfortunately was in my first accident with the NSX.
I was making a wide left turn, heard a pop/bang noise, lost control of the car and the back-end gave out. I tried to correct the slide but unfortunately over-corrected and spun the car 180deg and hit the curb/median. You can only imagine the shock I was in. I got out of the car and looked around and luckily I was not hurt and I did not hit anyone else.
I turned my attention to the car and the visible damage to the vehicle was primarily to the left front/rear wheel. Body damage was minimal to the rear bumper and lower valence as I struck a downed speed limit sign. Rear tire was gashed and looks like road debris was the cause...
I called for a tow truck and then called Ben @ Daisy Import to tell him the bad news. He told me to bring the car to his shop and not to worry.

The car was towed to Daisy Import. Ben put the car on the lift and took me through the damage underneath and it wasn’t a pretty sight. Ben told me not to worry and that he would ensure the car would be back to it’s original state. I left knowing that the car was in the capable hands of Ben Schaeffer(NSX-whisperer).
Over the next few days there was back and forth with the insurance company(progressive) and in the end they paid for everything that need to be replaced.
Ben kept me informed via phone and email as to the progress of my vehicle repairs. I took the downtime to also have Ben perform maintenance to the vehicle (tb/wp/oil change/etc).
It’s been about seven weeks since the incident and I got the car back this past Saturday! It sounds and drives great!
I just wanted to let Prime know of the great mechanic we have access to, especially in the Mid-Atlantic area! Thanks to Ben and team at Daisy Import for the awesome work done to get my car back on the road!
