congrats!
I would have to agree with you, premium parking spots. Over here this is near the building you are going to and there is always a security guard no more than 20m away.
We went to Siloam Hospital the other day and the valet and the security guards were soooo helpful. We had to spend a few days there, birth of our daughter, I was able to stay with my wife as they had spare beds for spouses. The car was well looked after and they even gave it a wash before they brought it to us when we were ready to leave. No charge.

LOL. Semi-decent was the key there. Common, I know you guys have been to those types of places that come across as the RuthChris or the Capital Grill or the Mortons or Flemmings of burger joints....you know, the burgers with the truffel oil and the brie...yeah you know. You know exactly what I'm talking about...
Common, you know...I know you know...
By the way, if I ever saw anyone doing something to a car I paid for from that video, I would be typing this from the prison internet station in the maximum detention library.

You know it was crazy, when I brought the car into the dealership for a CEL the first week, I won't mention any names, they hung this huge metal cup-holder looking thing from the passenger window to hold my key while the serviced it.
I'm talking a HUGE steel window cup holder liable to scratch the window and the paint if it fell...
I don't get it...even stealerships freak me out...

Shortly after picking up my brand new car, I went in to check a clicking noise (which turned out to be from the floating caliper) and get a part replaced. In one trip to, this well known dealer gifted me with:
1) black grease all over the light light light gray leather.
2) a nice gash in the 'chrome' of my brand new key.
3) lovely new trash in my car (dirty, empty coke bottle--I don't drink soda).
4) I watched the car wash guys hit the orange buckets they use for soap/water with my brand new car.
There was more, but I don't remember it all right now.
And let's not talk about the time at another well known dealer, when a tech was filling this car's tires with air and kept trying to whip the air compressor under and around the back of the car. He ended up taking a small chunk out of the rear diffuser, right in front of me. Oblivious ape didn't even flinch. I don't think he even noticed.
Even better was the oblivious SA who walked up to this car with paperwork, put the paperwork on the roof of the car and proceeded to ask the tech questions about a car from earlier in the day while writing down the tech's answers in pen, using the car's roof as the most expensive clipboard ever.
They don't give a flying **** about your car. Or my car. Or how much you paid or how hard you worked for it. That's the sad truth. But I always make them rectify it.
My favorite was the brand new SLR in the showroom that had been "detailed" so badly so many times the spider webby scratches in the paint were all you would notice. I should have known not to let the car wash guys touch it after seeing that...

Thanks, GMW. I just picked up the car from aMB dealer here after getting the central locking looked at. While waiting, free coffee etc, i had a look around the showroom. when the valet returned my car, it was spotless. They cleaned the interior and gave it a wash, free of charge. Great service, they really look after the cars here.
