Default Give the Valet $10 "Please keep in a safe spot" A day later I find a DENT!

BUT there is a happy ending (keep your minds out of the gutter The paintless dent removal technician ended up being a Jaguar fanatic! He owns a X351 and has owned X and S types and also in the market for an X350/358.

He goes "I love your car and I'm gonna make it like brand new." The dent was on the drives front door (fixed! perfect) and then he goes ahead and fixed a dent I had on the rear door and hood! for free! He goes all Jaguars should be at their perfect state. I tipped him very well (he refused, but I forced him to take it) lol.

Still annoyed with the valets ( I worked as a valet parker through college) because I tipped up front and usually very generous with them since I remember he years when I was one.

Oh well now my baby is better than before!

Maybe he dislikes British cars, especially Jaguars.
Glad your bad situation, has turned out well.

I would never valet a car anywhere I have gone way out of my way to avoid it in certain cases, just not happening. Glad you got it fixed though. My wife had my Jag for a day a couple months back and I found a small dent a few days later, I was pretty pissed. Luckily the paintless guy made it look like new and it was pretty cheap. Was happy to see they can repair aluminum.
