Valet scratched the sh*t out of my front bumper

The one time I valet my car I come home to find that the whole front lower drivers side of the bumper is scraped. I am pissed don't know what to do. Looks like they either hit a bump or driveway pretty badly. Imjust barely noticed when I got home, on a second glance I really noticed something was off.

Man and I am always so careful with bumps and dips.

Sorry to hear that man but there is not much you can do at this point except having a professional buff it out if the scratches are light and only in the clear coat or just live with it as a reminder to never give your car to a valet again. Or find a good bumper repair and have them respray that portion. Always inspect your car after a valet hands it back to you so if any issues arise, they can't claim that you did it yourself after they gave the car to you.

Well that sucks, hopefully they can be fixed easily. I had a Valet give my ride a nice curb rash once, I was pissed.

Get the tosser to pay for your repairs/replacement bumper. Damn it now I'm pissed off at their negligence on your behalf. Lol... These ******* have no respect for people's property whatsoever!

The valet managed to take off an entire door when I had my M5. Feel your pain.

Rule #1, never have anyone valet your car. I always tip them and park it myself. Sorry to hear about your misfortune. **** happens
