This makes my blood boil. I NEVER valet my M3 but the only time I have to is when I bring it to the dealer. One time my car had 10 miles over the checked out miles on the service sheet. The foreman couldn't give me a straight answer to why that was. I've never gone back to that dealer since and will never go back even if it's the closest one to my house.
I'm glad to see justice being served to this POS. It's one thing to envy over the car from the outside but why do something you wouldn't do to your own car to someone else's? Good work detectives.

Yes, it is a material possession and in the grand scheme of things this "metal" doesn't ultimately mean that much. Nevertheless, these irresponsible valets are not doing their job appropriately and are disrespecting not only the "metal," but, more importantly, the owners of the vehicles. In other words, this particular valet can take a hike. |

And if it was an isolated incident, sure, give a pass, but he's pretty egregious with his abuse. He needs to be made an example of.

valeting isn't really a big thing in the UK... which i guess is surprising as space is pretty limited most of the time! i've only ever done it once, when i stayed at a Four Seasons... didn't really think twice about it tbh

As far as this situation goes had to go into the city and low and behold the parking garage I had to use only valet parks. After watching this I parked it myself. Sooner or later this clown will wreck someone's car or strike a pedestrian as he's filming his exploits. But it's just a car right, I mean he wasn't hurting anything. Bullshit. If this were my ride, I'd find out what he drives, smash the shit out of it, while filming it of course, and post it on the web for him to enjoy. I mean it's just a car right. |

I think you are more likely to have your car damaged parallel parking on the street than by a valet. I avoid parking on the street as there is too good of a chance of having someone who "parks by ear" in front or in back of you.
If I park in a lot a park away from other cars and try to find the last spot on the right and park as far to the right as I can so I am out of range of the passenger door of the car to my left. I valet my cars regularly but am very selective as to where. BMW Manhattan picks up and returns my cars when they are serviced and my garage attendant thoroughly inspects the car when it is returned. I valet the car at some hotels including the Omni Mount Washington Resort. I know the valets there and I sometimes have them wash the car using supplies that I provide. When we are in Florida I have the car valet parked at The Boca Raton Resort, The Ritz Carlton Naples and the Vero Beach Resort and similar places. The valets there see very high end cars all day and are very careful with them. I have been doing this for years with a variety of cars and have never had an issue, CA

For everything else, you can just sue them or there's always insurance. The laptop example would be a no no just because of confidential information from my office. the clothing example would just be an issue of cleanliness - but yeah you let this guy sit in your car anyway so thats not it. its not like he broke the car. He accelerated a bit in the underground garage and revved the engine give the guy a break..... he is truly an idiot but there's no reason for you guys to get so out of whack about this. this is why everyone thinks BMW drivers are assholes. And no I'm not trolling. |

As for the people saying not to be uptight about this -- it is just a car, and it's good to let others enjoy it. That much we can agree on. I've let instructors and others drive my car on track and push it as hard as they felt comfortable doing so (and I would expect they would not push their limits in someone else's car). Why not? It was a blast seeing someone else push my car harder than I was able to around the track.
The difference is that they asked for permission, whereas this valet is an entitled asshole. |

I'd be pretty pissed if that was my car. But there are real life results you should never wish onto somebody else even if they did do something wrong. If people ok with reporting this guy to his manager and having him fired and possibly can't feed his kids or pay his rent because he has a weird way of admiring cars he obviously can't afford himself then go ahead.
The better approach might be finding him directly telling him we have an entire community ready to report you, stop posting videos or we'll contact your manager, then youll know how much he really cares.

Twitch Massacre got it right. This is just wrong on so many levels. This is supposed to be time on the clock. I remember being a bus boy at a restaurant and being asked to go run errands picking up things like tiki torch fuel for our patio. I was on the clock and went straight to the store and back to the restaurant. I'm on the clock and being paid, I'm not whipping out a camera to film my adventure and taking unnecessarily large amounts of time to do it.
To those defending saying the guy does no harm, this is true to an extent. But to me it is reckless driving in a parking garage and something will happen at some point. Sure there is insurance, and you can sue... but what a hassle to go through. Would you say this is ok with how the corvette is treated here? |

These low lifes are out of there fuking minds . I dont know what i would do if those were my cars .
I valeted my car once because i was forced to at a upscale hotel in chicago. The guy that took the car that night was about 18 and knew everything about the n54 from back to front . I call for my car in the morning and that same kid pulls up and tells me " the tire pressure is low so i put some air in it " . I look at him and say " why did you do that , i didnt ask for that " and went on my way . Well the tire exploded on me on the highway and i almost lost control going 70mph because the tire was most likely over inflated. It was probably flat from being beat up on that night when i turned the keys over to the kid. Moral of the story . DONT VALET YOUR SPORTS CARS!
