I'm on an airplane so I can't load the video, but I always valet any car I'm in.
I make them keep it up front to avoid any joyriding. |

Other than being a complete moron to do this (so many ways to identify him, from his buddy, to the plates on cars in the garage, etc) he is also just dumb about cars (his bafflement over the M1 and M2 buttons was pretty outstanding)
Would love it if this forum pulled together and we could out and identify the video reviewer. C'mon team - get 'er done.

I valet parked cars when I was in college. I never abused or moved someone's car. I did admire them while they sat pretty for hours at a time. This guy is just a plain idiot. Not everyone is like I used to be I guess.

I avoid valet parking as much as possible, especially if the guys doing the valet are young.
My dad's range rover sport was crashed in a basement garage like that one by a valet. These guys don't respect shit. Another dude was caught doing over 200km/h in Montreal on the highway in a X6M a few years ago, it was the valet who ''borrowed'' the car. That being said, if I was the owner of that car, all hell would brake loose right about now. |

I use to work in Valet way back in the day, what I saw can not be unseen. I will never valet my cars. Self park ftw! If there is no self park available we take one of the other cars.

I watched about 10 seconds of that video before I turned it off in complete rage....have never, and will never, valet the M. If that's the only thing available, that's what a beater (or my gf's car), is for.

I respect the vallets who are courteous and helpful. Even though there are some whom you know are fishing for more tips, at least they can tell you where the closest in-and-out is. Like most other things in life, its the few rotten apples that ruin the whole batch. |

Your car is not safe with anyone. I recently took my M4 to an unnamed BMW dealership in the Chicago burbs and had a dashcam record a 20 year old looking technician get stuck in the snow with my car, take selfies with it, take it on an 8 mile 'test drive' and take it through an automated car wash after telling the service manager multiple times not to wash it.
I know none of this is especially bad (maybe the car wash), but I figured BMW would treat their M customers with more respect. |

Wow. I am definitely keeping my dash cam on when I service the car. May you PM me the dealers name? I need to know which dealer not to service the car at. The closest to me is Perillo... But ive had bad experiences with them in the past. |

Edit: I don't think I would of been as calm as you were about this after I watched the dash cam video. Good job on the restraint. Last edited by minn19; 01-20-2015 at 09:31 AM.. |

Edit: I definitely didn't go all out Hulk on them since they still have my Summer wheels/tires in storage, but I did immediately write the service manager and called BMWNA about the matter to try to resolve it as best as possible. Last edited by Fahrvergnügen; 01-20-2015 at 09:45 AM.. |

WOW... what a loser!
On the C7 corvette forums someone posted up a video that the car recorded of a valet hitting about 50 or 60mph in the valet parking garage. The car automatically records when its put into Valet mode. The story was picked up by the news, the valet lost his job. With that, this loser still goes ahead and does something like this, and has the guts to post it online... unreal

Never, never never never. No one respects other people's property anymore these days.
