Valet Parking Horror Stories

[psych_on]

Hey guys, hope this serves as a reminder never to trust other people with your rides... A few days ago i went to the Casino Filipino in Paranaque to watch the URCC. Sobrang lakas ng ulan when i arrived and i was with my GF, so i didnt have a choice but to valet park my car. Fastforward to 3 hours later, when i was about to leave i asked for my car back and... SURPRISE! The valet person arrives in a different car and says: Sir..? Kayo ho ba may ari ng Mazda Tribute na puti..? Eh kasi... (guy starts scratching his head) may "nangyari" sa auto nyo... NANGYARI..? WHAT THE HELL IS NANGYARI?! CANT YOU GIVE IT TO ME IN PLAIN ENGLISH (or Filipino) ANO?! SUMABOG?! NA-CARNAP?! TINAMAAN NG KIDLAT?! KINAIN NG DRAGON?! WHAT?! After a few more minutes of his mumbling and head scratching we went to check the car, lo and behold... WASAK ANG REAR BUMPER (Hinde dent lang ha, punit!) AND THE LEFT REAR TAILIGHT WAS SMASHED! Nice... Whan i asked them what happened all they could come up with was... HINDE NAMIN ALAM. Ahhhh alam ko na, napagod siguro sa kaaantay ang auto ko sakin that it decided to sit down on its rear kaya nawasak yung bumper at nadurog ang ilaw... SHEESH! How can they not know? The valet guy parked my car in the "EXCLUSIVE VALET PARKING SPACE OF THE CASINO" No one else has access to the area except them. Anyway, sorry for the long post, just had to rant and vent. By the way, kung may kilala kayo nagbebenta ng left rear tail light ng MAZDA TRIBUTE (V6) - SURPLUS please PM me. Thanks!

You can demand them to replace that damaged bumper. Neglect ang ginawa nila.

[27th_Faktory]

yep pwede ka nga mag demand or they should pay the damages. the car was thier responsibility kung anu man mang yari jan or either yun casino filipino ang malalagot.

akala ko pa naman ghost story.

The problem with valet parking service is that they put conditions on your claim stub. One saying that they are not responsible or liable to loss or damage of your vehicle. Pero I think you can still sue them. A case was won before by a complainant simillar to your dilemna.

[johnart]

Gawa ka na ng pulis report at ibigay sa insurance company para sila maghabol if wala kang insurance call a lawyer to sue them

[Chip]

so sorry to hear that man.
sana u get paid for the damage to your car

[vinj]

Yup, there was a case on this some time ago and the complainant won (his/her car was stolen while in the custody of the valet). Try to give the case to your insurance company and maybe with yourm lawyer as well... hope you documented the incident with Casino Filipino and the local precinct.

You will win if you go to court. Hassle lang. Meron nang precedent and it was decided by the Supreme Court, nasa www.sc.gov.ph and I even posted the resolution here: http://tsikot.yehey.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17998.

Unless the SC overtruns itself hehehe.

tsk tsk.. sorry to hear that bro.. at the back of the claim stub bro may mga conditions. pero alam ko before nila kunin check muna for the damages.. pwede mo ireklamo yun...

[marky438]

sorry to hear that bro. siguro your best move is to let the insurance handle this na lang.

yan ang nakakainis sa mga valet parking eh, how can it be not their responsibility when it is in their jurisdiction? kalokohan yan mga conditions na yan eh. :arghhh:

1 time nagpa valet ako. nakalimutan ko kung saan eh, pero nakakagago yung nag nagvalet. claim ko na kasi eh. nakita ko hinataw ba naman yung sasakyan ko. kala mo pangkarera ung crosswind. tapos pagdating sa harap ng hotel biglang preno.. ogag! naniis ako. nireklamo ko sa admin...

[niky]

I agree that you should press for damages. You shouldn't have left the Casino without at least a security report from the guard.

Walang kuwenta naman ang claim stub disclaimer because it is an unsigned contract... therefore, you are NOT agreeing to the terms and conditions in a LEGALLY BINDING manner. And even if it were signed, it still would not hold up in court. Ika nga, you can't sign away your legal rights. Even legal contracts are NON-BINDING if any stipulation is against local law.

just like in the movies

meron nga incident dyan sa t morato tinututukan yun mga nag vavallet galing dun sa parking, specially sa mga medyo dark places sa mga kalye scout. ingat na lang mga tsikoteers at pagisipan mabuti kung kailangan pa ba mag vallet.

.. dapat diyan sa casino na iyan .. ini-Ocean's 11 !! .. take down the house

I had to trust those valet attendants once, and back then I had no choice. Kelangan kasi i-surrender yung car keys so that they can move my car in case someone wants to get out of the parking area. This was in some hotel sa Manila, where we were busy coordinating a wedding reception. Nakita ko nga yung isang guard, sumisilip sa reception area namin, looking for the owner of a certain Honda Civic. Hindi niya kasi iniwan yung susi sa reception, eh may hindi maka-alis sa parking kasi nakaharang siya. I told him to have the owner paged through the emcee, buti naman at narinig ng may-ari. That's one reason why valet attendants are necessary at times.

Pero personally, ayoko yung parking sa hotel na yun. I don't exactly relish the idea of having someone else handle my car. Binalikan ko yung sasakyan sa parking, aba, iba na yung parada niya. Nakakainis pa, sobrang lapit niya dun sa katabing Pajero. Tinignan ko agad kung may damage, buti naman wala.

.. dapat gayahin nalang yung sa thailand .. hindi hina-handbrake .. kaya pwede i-urong .. tapos kalso lang para steady sa park ..

.. dapat gayahin nalang yung sa thailand .. hindi hina-handbrake .. kaya pwede i-urong ..

The downside to this is that it would be easier for thieves to tow your car away.
