Another reason to Uber to restaurants

erickonphoenix · Today, 12:12 PM

My wife picked a new restaurant she wanted to go to. We pull up and it's valet only. I reluctantly handed the keys over. Now a month later I'm washing the car and found my side skirt has been damaged. The only way I can imagine this happened was at the valet. So budgeting Ubers to new restaurants from now on.

Probably protected your door. Damn that took a lot of impact.

Really sucks and if you don't see it when you get the vehicle back you are most likely out of luck.

Virtually every place I have ever been to that had valet also had other options with a short walk.

That sucks. I will not valet my car. If there isn't a self parking option close by, I have given the valet a tip to park my car myself and keep my keys.

Ditto. I hate it that I am tipping to do it myself, but...

Dang, that sucks. I used valet once with my car and I lectured the guy on how to ensure the car is in reverse vs 1st gear (manual trans). And admittedly, most of the time at dinner I was nervous about how they would handle the car.
