there's no way in hell i'd let a valet touch my baby, maybe only if the valet was a good friend of mine, but that's still only a maybe lol! i've heard way too many bad stories over the years.

I tried a valet once at the mall with the WRX. Put it in Valet mode (over 2k rpm it rev limits) and I BARELY got 10 feet away when I heard my car pitching a fit.

I walked over the valet, asked him just what he thought he was doing to my car - he coughed up some BS about it being 'too sensitive'. Kiss my grits boy - you don't need to be revving past 2k RPM in a parking lot.

Told him to get out of my car and parked it down the street.

Makes me wonder which is worse -- valet parking or dealership techs?

EDIT: no offense to all the good techs and valet ppl out there.

put your valet key in use. so they can't open your trunk, and cant open the glove compartment.

hand them over the valet key, but remember to lock your trunk before hand it to them.

that way your stuff is safe.

but how they drive the car is a different story.
