Default Parking valet ruined my car in airport parking

I got back from HK and Thailand last month. On 2nd Jan, I went to pick up my car at econo lounge in airport parking. I checked around the car and found the dented side on wheel side. Also, inside the car, the temperature set too high than normal 67. My brother told me. 'Dont truth them' I never park my car this airport parking. Last June, I went to Vegas and parked my car on other airport parking place.

What can I do with my car on side?

Sorry to see this happen to your GS. Did you talk to whoever is in charge at that parking lot about this damage? Tell them you'll sue if they don't do something about it.

Sorry this happened to you. I'd be furious. Looks like they went for a joy ride. Did you take pics of the car before you went? Saw a situation like this on Judge Judy.

My rear bumper got two scratches from parking at a NYC garage. When I got it back I looked over the car and found it. Guy tied to deny it at first , but I got pretty serious pretty fast . Bottom line they reprinted my bumper at a high end shop and it came out perfect.

If you made a report right then it might work, but if you left, I doubt you,ll be able to do anything about it.

If thats just a bumper, you can have a body shop touch up just that section. $150-$300

They may charge more because of the pearl paint, and it may not match perfect. Take it to a decent shop and ask them
