    Dymags & Valet Parking

    The valet parking at the Capital Grill in Pittsburgh did this to my right rear wheel. I have a new one ordered from Wheel Enhancement, the new importer. After talking to Bill, previously of Rennworx, the previous importer and now with Wheel enhancement (a real gentlemen), I decided to order a new wheel rather than sent it back to England for possible but unlikely repair. After having four non-leakers, I am just hoping the fifth is a non-leaker also.

    Re: Dymags & Valet Parking

    Another reason not to let a valet touch my car - did he at least "fess" up or did you have to find the damage?

    Sorry to see this happen but I have to ask, why did you even let a valet near your car in the first place.

    As crazy as it sounds I would never even consider going to a location that required any possibility of a valet..

    Re: Dymags & Valet Parking

    How did you know it was the valet, did they fess up or did you look the car over & notice? Just curious because obviously it's unlucky that it happened but lucky you will have someone pay for the damage. They are paying for a new wheel I hope? Did you tell them how much a new Dymag costs?

    I've never, not even once given keyes to my Ferrari's or Porsche's to a valet, didnt you have some way out of it?

    So sorry this happened. At least it's a bolt off, bolt on part with nothing left behind after it's replaced, unlike body damage, etc.

    Ouch!
    Sometimes valet parking is unavoidable. My office has a valet, but I tip the guy a few hundred every year so he treats my car like gold. Wise investment.

    I just tip them more so that I park the car myself and take the keys with me

    Jesus, looks like he was rubbing curbs the whole time you were eating dinner. That's a lot of rash there.
