Dymags & Valet Parking

The valet parking at the Capital Grill in Pittsburgh did this to my right rear wheel. I have a new one ordered from Wheel Enhancement, the new importer. After talking to Bill, previously of Rennworx, the previous importer and now with Wheel enhancement (a real gentlemen), I decided to order a new wheel rather than sent it back to England for possible but unlikely repair. After having four non-leakers, I am just hoping the fifth is a non-leaker also.

Good god, man. Please tell me CG is going to pay for that. And why in the world would you let some snot nosed kid valet your car? Hope you get it sorted soon.

That's a pain in the ***, plus 2500.00 dollar mistake. You should get the other rim fixed then you have a spare.

I hope they're paying for it! As any type of place that "works" with cars (Even parking them) you are _supposed_ to have insurance for that sort of thing (assuming they do) by law. Hope they take care of it the right way!

I hope he did not do engine damage too when you were in the restaurant eating and he was turbo trashing.

I saw that happen in Vegas one time with this guy's 360 a few years ago. Weird, I thought that stuff only happened in the movies

That's probably the most expensive curb job that valet will ever have.
