Parking garage, Valet or Just leave it home? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Going on a 2 day vacation to Atlantic City and I am contemplating whether or not I should take my 3 week old 2LT. I would probably not enjoy myself at all thinking about my car in a parking garage for 2 days straight, so option 1 is most definitely out. I could possibly Valet it, and pay the extra cash, but of course would still be worrying. The easiest option would be to leave it home and take my wifes Nissan Juke, but that is no fun.

If it were you guys what would you do?

If you're worried about it, take the Juke... I'd never valet my car after seeing what some of them do to cars.

jewel25 · 10-24-2012, 06:12 PM

If you have the option then I would leave it at home.

I wouldn't drive the joke ( I mean juke) if ya paid me.
But seriously, I go to AC a lot and always take my Camaro. Valeting it the only way to go. It also depends on what casino you are staying at. But either way valet it.
The wife and I are going to Mohegan Sun on Tuesday and I'll take the Cammie their too.

Go the to Vegas, people park higher end cars than ours there and it shouldn't be a problem for you to check on it.

take the Juke

DON'T USE VALET. I used valet at fest. They did shit in my car (this was at the Hilton Suites also)...you could smell rubber and clutch every time they brought it back

.

I say parking garage. You should be fine. People aren't out to hurt a sitting still parked Camaro.

Auto..valet OK...manual...leave at home.....I saw a Hilton valet stalling the car and then burning the tires trying to get into the parking garage.

What do you have against parking garages? Drive around until you find an end spot or one protected by columns and you don't have to worry about door dings. I always manage to fin d a good spot in parking garages. I never trust valets with my cars.

I think the valet and regular parking garage are the same garage not 100% though have done both but never driven my camaro have taken my friends Infiniti which is more expensive and never had a problem either way

Did someone say valet?

RS/4Life · 10-24-2012, 09:01 PM

I don't trust no one with my car or parking my car.

Kahdir · 10-24-2012, 09:02 PM

depending on the surroundings, a parking garage is ok if you scout out a spot at the end (as stated above) or take the wife's vehicle.

As for valet... as long as they are good with me parking it out front of the restaurant/event/etc., I make sure I take care of them tipwise
