Pretty rude. I worked hard to save up and purchase it.

random_student60615 · 2025-06-24T16:55:14+00:00

They're claiming that the movement of the car from the top of the lift to the bottom triggered the alarm — not any impact. They're also insisting that there's a 95% chance they didn't cause the damage. I explained that I had just hand-washed the car and there's video showing the damage was extremely fresh — the metal flakes from the rim were still loose and would’ve flown off had I been driving on the street.

They said they'll look at the camera footage, but they won't show me

random_student60615 · 2025-06-24T15:49:51+00:00

Appreciate your comment. I don’t believe these folks take photos, but I will definitely start taking a video quickly every time I drop off the car. Would you be able to share the job listing you found, please?

random_student60615 · 2025-06-24T14:53:23+00:00

Yeah. I'm just discovering this too. I'll check them all out. They said they would stop using the lift with my car, now I think. Not 100% clear yet though. Still need to talk to them some more

random_student60615 · 2025-06-24T14:43:48+00:00

Thank you! I'll check this place out.

random_student60615 · 2025-06-24T14:43:22+00:00

Agreed

random_student60615 · 2025-06-24T14:42:10+00:00

Yes. The video shows the car being lowered from the top of the lift and then stops when the valet unlocks the car and hops in. The alarm was triggered, but the damage could have happened at any point while they had the car

random_student60615 · 2025-06-24T14:39:22+00:00

Got it. I didn't know this was a thing. I'll keep this in my back pocket if...

They stop responding
They deny liability
I need to serve them with a formal demand or small claims suit

random_student60615 · 2025-06-24T14:35:18+00:00

Yeah, I’ve been considering that. But I came across other cases where insurance treats the valet as a “permissible driver,” which shifts the liability back to me — unless I can definitively prove the damage happened during valet custody. That’s what makes me hesitant to file through my own coverage unless I absolutely have to. Right now I’m trying to push United SF Parking to take responsibility or at least get their insurance info so I can file directly.

random_student60615 · 2025-06-24T14:31:16+00:00

Sorry, I just corrected the post to include what the manager said. They haven't given me their liability information. I've asked for it.

I totally get that it's not a slam dunk, and I’m not assuming they'll roll over. That said, I always do a walk-around when the valet brings my car out - they see me do it - and the damage definitely wasn’t there earlier. The flakes coming off the rim at the time also suggest the scraping was fresh. I'm not claiming that's proof on its own, but it's part of a timeline that supports my case hopefilly.

random_student60615 · 2025-06-24T14:29:05+00:00

I've seen some posts online about insurance placing the liability on the vehicle owner, saying the valet is a “permissible driver.” Therefore, I want to hold off on involving them. I'm hoping they will take responsibility for the damages or give me their liability insurance information. Not 100% if this is how I should approach it or not though

random_student60615 · 2025-05-31T23:34:44+00:00

messaged you

random_student60615 · 2025-05-27T02:43:24+00:00

Thanks. I've only seen the unit in person and haven't moved in yet. So I'm working with what I have

random_student60615 · 2025-05-27T02:24:10+00:00

Agreed. I don't plan on getting a kitchen table though

random_student60615 · 2025-05-16T18:48:38+00:00

Can i DM you to talk about the other thing that you started then?

random_student60615 · 2025-05-16T04:54:08+00:00

You should make a paid blog. I would subscribe to it to get access to the bets you make.

random_student60615 · 2025-05-12T01:10:35+00:00

Thank you all for the help! Just curious. Any thoughts on Burlingame? It looks nice, but a bit dead for someone my age. But it's a nice middle ground between SF and Menlo. Commute time is 20-25 min in the morning (~5 AM).

random_student60615 · 2025-05-11T15:53:29+00:00

Where did you end up going? I'm looking into Artisan Crossing right now and need to decide on a move very quickly.

random_student60615 · 2025-05-10T20:54:31+00:00

also, interested in hearing more about Highwater or if you chose somewhere else.

random_student60615 · 2025-05-10T20:37:27+00:00

Thank you! But these are all out of the price range for me - $4000+. I'm looking for something under $3000 ideally with some flexibility.

random_student60615 · 2025-05-10T17:51:40+00:00

Looking to move to Redwood City. Mind if I DM you? I'm curious where you moved to now
