Friends: 0 |  Typical first month damage Well .... some things never change ....... took the Prius to the city the other day .... Valet delivers the car from the parking garage after lunch ........... Right rear of the bumper is all scratched up and the bumper is a little off. I never make more than a month before someone does something to every car I own. The bumper snapped back in/on -- but the paint is all scratched and cracked. So .......... NYC 1 ....... Prius 0 |

Friends: 0 | Re: Typical first month damage Actually -- The garage is taking responsibility Initially .....they tried to get out of it .... but ....I had dropped the car off earlier in the week - in the rain - and the bumper is now clean in that area ....... So that ............. and the temporary tag on the car ... they excepted responsibly. It is just a pain. |

Friends: 3 | Re: Typical first month damage We are in a blizzard right now and there was a vehicle transport truck taking off an SUV. It rolls down the ramps, into the snow, can't stop and goes crunch right into the curb and shrubberies. I saw this happen as I was waiting at the light and as I drove past the idiot the bumper had disconnected from the sides and was pushed in, and the wheels were at full lock. So be glad you at least got 1 month out of it! |

Friends: 0 | Re: Typical first month damage I have never park any of my cars in a valet parking. If this is the only option (like a hotel) I will find a parking garage nearby and park there and walk... |

Friends: 0 | Re: Typical first month damage Have used dozens of valets, never had a problem. but I have had cars broken into and outright stolen in public parking lots. I trust valets more than I do an unmonitored parking lot. |

Friends: 7 | Re: Typical first month damage I'm glad you're getting this taken care of. I got rear-ended within a month of owning my car. You could image how mad I was. I hope you get it all worked out! I don't think I'd ever trust a valet. |
