Default furious....look

well i went to houston last night and parked valet at the omni told them to leave the car in the front, needless to say they not only moved my car but damaged 3 wheels!! how do you curb check 3 wheels? there was still fresh concrete from the curb on the lip of the wheel, the manager told me they contract a valet service and the owner will call me monday, i didnt want to leave the city until we came to an agrement but i guess i finally calmed myself down and came home....

oh man sorry to hear that that's why i neve ever let those people touch my car. i drive better than they do period.

however though, just to give you an idea, when you do valet parking, i do believe they give you the paper saying that they are not liable for damage or thefts? of course still fight for it man, but just an idea?

dude....sorry to hear about this.....hopefully the owner of the valet company pays up. I dont understand how these ppl work for a valet company if they drive like $h!t. Must be a hater behind the wheel of your car.

Sorry to hear what happened to your wheels. I hate those bastard valet parking assistant. They treat your car like ****, because its not their cars. I only have my car valet parked once and they messed up my stock rims.I complaint and stuff, they ended up not paying for it. After that 1 time, i will never valet park my car. If there's no parking space and i have to walk two blocks, i would rather walk. I hear so many horror stories about valet parking. I hope those **** pays for the damage, but as ROminl stated before, the back of the valet ticket it has this stupid disclaimer, saying that they are not liable for any damage or theft done to your car. Good luck bro.

sounds like they did it on purpose after you asked them to leave it in front.

As a person who has a friend who is in valet, I am not at all surprised.

Still, I am sorry to hear of your experience.

Good luck in your pursuit of getting it paid for.
