    I believe they still have to provide "reasonable" security though. It is not that they can just wash their hands on the matter. If it were so, an employee can just jack your shit and then say "read the fine print, buddy"... It all depends on the circumstances though.

    Same thing with Valet parking. Even though it says they are not liable for damage to cars etc, if the Valet does not provide REASONABLE care, and just decide to peel out and sideswipe your rims, or back up into your car, they still have to cover for their mistakes.

    I have had both happen to me in the past and on both account I was able to get SOMETHING back.. of course it all depends on the case itself. I would just look into it. Worst thing is that you just pay your deductible and plead to your insurance company on your knees to not raise your rates. Sometimes it helps.

    There is reasonable security. 2 locked gates. He actually asked right before he left if it would be inside the 2nd set of lacked gates and we said yes. All of the customers are well aware that their car will be stored outside. We don't ask customers to drop their cars off here until we are ready to work on them. In fact, they usually plead with us to drop it off early "incase we can get started on it". There are several reasons we do not encourage people to drop their cars off before we are ready, theft being one of them, not enough space to store all of the cars on on 3 month waiting list and when people drop their cars off before we are ready to work on them, they have a false sense of how long the car has actually taken to work on because they left it here before we were ready. We never lead anyone to believe otherwise as far as where their cars will be stored or when they will be worked on.

    Anything that I mentioned above is not directed toward or about any customer in particular. So don't take it personally anyone please .

    We made the waiver becuase we were informed to by our attorney years ago. The print is font size 9...not that small

    Like I said, I'm sorry that this happened. Luckily for us this is the first time that anything like this has happened at either one of our shops.
    Val for president!

    Likewise, I was not pointing fingers either at your shop etc... like I said.. it all depends on circumstances... I would say good luck to both of you
