Go back and check for security cameras. Most large chain companies or centers have them up, or at least at the entrance doors pointing out to the parking lot. If you can get them to review the time you were there, you could be in luck.

that sucks this happened once to my when i had my 95 GSR i was at a meeting and decide to go find my car and i found it with the wings west bumper smashed against the curb called them out and they moved it back but yet still said it wasn't there fault i just took it as a loss.. If bumper tab is broken get that bumper support some guys are using at least that way your not paying for a whole new bumper.

Whattt, that's crazy! Sucks to see this happen. After lowering my car and adding a lip kit I never went back to valet for this reason.

Good luck with everything and keep us posted!

Sucks to see this and also sucks that valet never admits fault to anything. I would keep going back in person and complaining until something happens. I would take friends with me and have them hold up signs saying their valet damages cars.

what do you need insurance in that for? you simply pop the bumper back into the tabs... and shame on you for valeting an enthusiasts' car.

Exactly my thoughts. I try not to Valet the car unless I have to.
