not at all surprising... what do you expect from a bunch of 16-17 year old kids?

98GSXdude · 12-27-2009, 02:03 PM

I was a valet for years for the largest company in NJ and drove everything under the sun. I, nor anybody else working with me ever abused a car or did anything like in that video. Valet parking is a great service and I'll still do it wherever I go. A video of a bunch of knuckleheads who should have been beaten more at chilidren shouldn't change how you view the service.

SSQ on the SRT-4 sounded sick!

BlkWhtTSI · 12-28-2009, 02:36 AM

well that is just insane, i cant believe not one customer relized hmm my tires are a lot balder then i remember or any manager seeing all the tire marks and hearing loud engines relize that cars are being abused. with that said that piece of trashis the luckiest guy on earth if he hasnt gotten caught yet or damaged any cars.

DPancoast · 12-28-2009, 03:20 AM

well at least he didn't hit anything. I haven't and will never Valet my car. Has always been my view on things.

polarexpress17 · 12-28-2009, 06:29 AM

i'd like to see a valet figure out how to operate everything needed to drive my car legally

"what does this switch do?" LOL

I've never been anywhere fancy enough to need a valet, and if i ever was i'd tell them they are SOL if they think they are driving my car.

**** i could be driving an old tempo running on 2.5 cylinders with the entire back end rusted apart and i still wouldn't let them drive it

jpalamar · 12-28-2009, 09:35 AM

I'm sure this isn't a common practice. I've had cars parked at the vallet before. No issues.

jjm4life · 12-28-2009, 09:45 AM

im not sure if i posted a thread about my philly valet experience back in 05. long story short, 11k in damages to my then 6 month old evo. the owner of the company brought me to the car, the whole right side messed up, two wheels cracked, smoke pouring from the hood, and a completely roasted clutch. 6 weeks later i had it back good as new.

Atleast none that you know about haha just kidding.

I live near the King Of Prussia mall and no lie have seen ferraris, Maybachs, Bentlyes, Vipers, Lambos etc. parked in the valet lots. If you ask me those people put a lot of faith into those valet workers.

I remember you telling me that, insane.

I've always used valet, then again I rarely give them a car I care about aside from the 2 times I had my brothers S55 AMG. It is a good service, and chances are there aren't many idiots doing the work simply because of the kind of cars that come through most valet services. Unfortunately it does happen, but you can't have 2-3 bad ones across the country taint the thousands of others.

DPancoast · 12-28-2009, 11:34 AM

but what if its like gone in 60 seconds?! lol

my srt was hit in a valet lot in KoP... never again

blkmz3 · 12-28-2009, 02:38 PM

I did valet in philly while I was in college part-time on the weekends. Can't speak for the other drivers but when I drove customer cars I did watch out for pot holes and made sure I was a good distance away from the curb etc. That doesn't mean the cars don't get pushed since our objective is to get it parked as fast as possible.

Some tips/reminders

-never leave cash or personal items within view (cell phones/cameras/etc). read the disclaimer on your ticket stub.
-if you go clubbing/partying and come out at 2am don't expect to have your car in 5 minutes. everyone is out at that time.
-if you have a kill switch let the driver or attendant know. there were so many times we couldnt get a car started.
-flat tires are not our problem
-check your car as soon it arrives. we actually mark all damages on our ticket stub. we are not responsible for any damages after you leave our site.
-hit your attendant with a nice tip he will keep you close and bring it back faster

ndubz · 12-28-2009, 05:52 PM

I saw a valet do a huge burnout in this bentley azure when this cool valet took me down to the garage to see all the insane cars at a hotel in Monterey ca. Since then I never let Valet have my car.

JB'sLGT · 12-28-2009, 06:08 PM

Valets only? I don't trust anyone with my car except my good friend Steve who is a mechanic. This is why: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106147

Lol, that's not what I hear from dudes that valet. Granted they don't do crap like that but something nice comes in they'll probably romp on it. But as far as the city goes I never let anyone touch my car. I'll go park someone else. Now if I'm in a ****ty car then I don't really care.

tr4c3 · 12-28-2009, 08:27 PM

Never had to use valet before, but wouldn't let them drive my car either. No offense to them if they actually do their job, just don't like other people driving my car.
