Default Vallet parking accident!

Had my car vallet parking at AMC theater and as soon as i get out of the theater my car was park right in front of the me already without even asking for it and i thought it was cool and gave this ****** $10 tip. so i came up to my car and noticed my right front side of the bumper was hanging for its life and i was like WTF!! i came up to the guy and told him about it and he was on denial so i called his manager that was coming from home to come by and same thing he was denying it when he wasnt even there the whole freaking time. and now im ****ed coz my insurrance told me that this company would not claim it to be their fault coz there was alot of situation like this and it always end up the owner of the vehicle was paying for all the deductable... smh!

At least you complained to them about it. Sadly, you'll need a new bumper. Last time when I drove over a parking stump and broke that exact bumper tab, the bumper wouldn't hold up properly anymore. Good luck with everything.

Sorry to hear about your situation. I can't imagine how pissed I'd be. Did they really think you wouldn't notice?!? Three words: small claims court.

you cant really pop it back in since the clip of the bumper brace where you put the screw in was torn apart to my bumper
