I valet my car almost every weekend.. the guys at the valet know me and my previous cars. my integra had an act 6puck clutch, that was always fun to watch and see how many times they stalled it before they got to the parking lot... haha

i check my mileage when i do and i have never seen anything excessive put on the car. the lot is about 3 blocks away i have never seen more than a mile put on the car.

you sir are a tool. I currently am a valet to help pay for my wedding and if i were your manager i would fire you in a heartbeat. Its people like you that give valet a bad reputation and make others not want to get valet. I couldnt tell you how many people i have come accross where the only reason they didnt get valet is because they know someone who had a bad experience or heard something somewhere. If i were one of your customers and saw the extra mileage on my car i would raise hell and seriously want to punch you square in the face. When someone decides not to valet because of a story they heard somewhere, it's like taking money right out of my pocket.

Thanks douche

Thsi thread makes me lol. Absolutely NO ONE whom I don't know personally drives any of my cars. For that matter, nobody who can't afford to replace it at the drop of a hat drives one of them.

Absolutely NO tire monkeys, no mechanics, no alignment guys and no valets drive my stuff. I'll park in the boondocks or slip the valet a $10 before I let them anywhere near my car.

The tire monkeys at a local Firestone smashed my buddy's Supra into little bitty pieces after a mount and balance. They had absolutely no excuse to drive the car at all, but that didn't stop them from going to Taco Bell at mach 4, and 'drifting' it back to the store, finding a fire hydrant on the way. We salvaged the trans and the alternator and one valve cover. There was literally NOTHING else without damage. I'd have actually killed the poor kids that did it, but the Supra owner took it in stride. They ended up paying him fair market value for it after he took them to court

When I went to test-drive my car at a bmw dealership, I stood at the curb waiting for the sales rep to pull the car araound. It took him a long time. When he finally pulled the car up, I asked him why it took him so long and he said he couldn't figure out how to start the car....

All the times I've had my S valeted(2-3 times), They parked the S out front without the extra 20 dollar charge...Next to the Bimmers and the Mercs...I guess I must be special...

If some valet told me that they had to park my car or I would have to leave I would kick them in the balls and leave.

I also went to a place where I had no choice but to have a valet park the car.

After waiting ~15 minutes for them to finally get my car, the guy finally showed up and pulled my car up to me but he didn't get out. He was sitting in there, looking around for about a minute, and finally looked out the window right at me with a sad/confused look on his face. I walked up to the door with a smirk on my face and said, "Can't get out, can you?" He sheepishly said, "Yeah," and I reached in and unlocked the door for him.

That's what happens when Honda decides not to put a power door lock switch in a car with recessed interior locks and you have an aftermarket alarm that's set to automatically lock the doors when the car starts.
