As a rule I never valet park. But I took a nap today and overslept meeting my parents to go to dinner so I had to drive myself. I get to the place and it is valet only. Had I known this, I wouldn't have made reservations at this place. But I'm flustered because I'm late so I went with it. Finish dinner and pick up may car no problem. Notice they drive past/thru a construction place to bring cars back, whatever. Then they bring my parents their car. Except it isn't, they don't drive a new CUV. They drive an Impreza. They eventually get their car back. I get back to my place and park the car. Splashed in mud, front bumper mainly b/c my Rally Armors kept the rest down. Why can valets never not suck?

I feel like they did this with my car.

Nah, I just emailed the GM. Probably won't do anything but I'm good with it now.

That is how I felt giving it to them.

I have a reservation at a hotel in 2 weeks. Its valet only AND $18/night. I am not looking forward to it.

Before you knock valets, you should know a lot of them are gear heads just like us. Also, most of them are college students/fresh grads trying to keep their debt down. If something like this did happen to your car its most likely coincidental. I never met a valet who would intentionally do something like that.

Trust me, I know, I used to do valet.

Somewhat related, whenever I get my car back from somewhere (valet, dealer service, etc) I always feel my brakes are mushier than before. Weird.

I know some are, I know a couple. And I would like to do it myself as a part time job. But, I also know many of them are idiots. On purpose or not they are reckless. Last week I witnessed it first hand, but that place also let people park their own so I did not have to deal with it.

From my experience, the guys who were reckless were not well liked by the "veterans" and didn't end up staying for long.

On the other hand, it was a great part time job. I got paid to stand around for most of the night and bullshit with some buddies. Driving just about every performance car known to man and several super cars was an added bonus.

When I have a chance for a part time job, it is my first choice. And I understand how people are about cars and what you have said is what I think. But handing over the keys will just never feel ok.
