  I am writing to formally address a significant inconvenience I experienced with parking garage during my stay at the *********** in ************* on May 2, 2025. I parked my car overnight on Friday , May 1, expecting to retrieve it the following day. However, when I attempted to access my vehicle on Saturday , I was informed that the garage elevator was broken, preventing retrieval of my car.The staff member on duty acknowledged that this was not the first occurrence of this issue and advised me to wait a few hours for a repair crew. After waiting three hours, the crew arrived and informed me that the elevator could not be fixed until Monday due to a pipe issue. As I reside in ******* and had an early flight scheduled for Sunday morning, waiting was not feasible. Following the staffs recommendation, I took an **** back to **, incurring additional expenses, and flew back to *******, leaving my car in garage. I had to buy last minute air ticket to come back to *** to retrive my car on Thurday May 8th , This situation has caused significant inconvenience and financial burden, as I needed to take **** both ways plus and flight ticket. I was adviced to send an email for renibersment of my expenses but no one has reponded to me .Can you help me to sort it out ?Thank you ****** *********

  On Monday August 5th, around 3:30 I was a patient at ******************************************************************. I went to retrieve my car from the valet and noticed he was taking a very long time to get my car. The supervisor, ******, decided to see what was taking him so long. I was then that ****** (who was the driver) brought my car to me. Upon arrival, I noticed that the front of my car was badly damaged. He (******) called *************************** to report the accident. **** called (and texted) me to apologize and proceeded to tell me what to do.He told me to take my car to Phils Body shop to have car repaired and they will also give me a loaner car to use in the interim. I did not feel comfortable that my car there (which is my right under NYS law) so I took it to Meadowbrook Collision to have it repaired. **** gave me the information for claims service and told me to contact them. I called and spoke to ****** who emailed me the form to complete, which I did and emailed them back to her.They wanted me to take the car to their body shop, I did not feel comfortable doing so (as per NYS law , they cant make me use their shop), so I took it to a body shop that I am comfortable with. As a result, they got offended and is now dragging their feet for the repair. I called, texted and emailed, no responses-they are either in a meeting or not available. I have been without a car for 14 days and they have not provided a rental while I wait for my car to be repaired. This is very disgusting and unacceptable.

  On the night of 4/13/24 my wife and I visited the ** at ******************* and had our (less then 6 month old) 2023 ******* Santa Fe valet parked since at the time my wife was 7 months pregnant and unable to walk from the parking garage. After our visit we were returned our vehicle by the valet with damage to the front bumper. I immediately pointed out the damage as it was extremely noticeable on a brand new car. The valet directed me to file a report with the company, which I did in less then 1 week, I requested a police report at the time and was told by the valet that it was not necessary as he caused the damage and was very apologetic. As requested by the Valet "Claims Coordinator" ******, I attained an estimate from my autobody shop for the cost of the repairs which resulted to approximately $4200. After submitting all of the requested paperwork and estimate, I was advised by ****** that their independent appraiser would need to also examine my vehicle, and that the company will be making their decision after they create a value of the damage. After the inspection I was sent a notice via mail that the appraiser only valued the damage to my vehicle at around $740. On reading their estimate I noted that the appraiser used software from 1994 and only appraised my bumper as needing repair only. The damage to the paint and plastic of the bumper were past repair and warranted replacement to be in like new condition. Also the bumper was out of alignment with the front fender and hood which would warrant removal to realign it. By removing the bumper, the front facing camera system, forward facing radar and other various sensors would have to be recalibrated. I attempted to reach out to the company directly via email to the Vice President ******************* and did not get a response. For a company to admit fault then offer little to nothing to repair damage is not only unprofessional but unethical. I WANT MY VEHICLE FIXED PROP**Y AND BACK TO LIKE NEW CONDITION.

  Claimant was at ******************** ER at approximately 3:50 am with his wife.  Claimant states that upon returning to hie vehicle he noticed the damages.

  Claimant subsequently sent in an estimate for $4,338.00 from his body shop, North Star Auto Body.

  We sent out our insurance company's licensed appraiser who provided an estimate for $742.00.  The mount of $742.00 was offering in full settlement of the claim, but it was rejected by the claimant.  Claimant appealed our offer.  We reevaluated the claim and increased the hourly rate of labor and offered $842.00 in full settlement.  We also offered to repair the vehicle at one of the body shops that we do business for over 40 years, and we guaranteed all the work performed.  Additionally, we offered $45.00 toward the cost of a rental vehicle, if needed, during the time claimant's vehicle was being repaired.   

  Attempts have been made to resolve this claim.  We have provided the claimant with a few options.  Unfortunately, all offers have been rejected.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because: 

  Parking systems has offered to settle for an increased amount of $100 from the original offer of $742, which still leaves me with an extreme amount of out of pocket repair costs. Also they have only given me an option of taking my vehicle to a body shop that I am not familiar with. My shop at which I provided an estimate has been doing reputable and trusted work for myself and my family for over a decade. As per the response from parking systems, the have also offered to pay $45 for a rental vehicle which would additionally leave me out of pocket to cover a difference in cost. Their offer also only covers the minimal repair of the damage, not including if any underlying damage is present, which is noted on the estimate that parking systems as created since it does not include removal and realignment of the bumper. I feel that if there is underlying damage it would put my family's life in danger if work is not completed in its enitrety including inspection of underlying structures. The bumper is totally misaligned from the surrounding structures of the vehicle. Having no option to take my vehicle to a shop of my choosing takes away my feeling of security that the work will be done correctly. Lastly parking systems has given me a hold harmless agreement to sign if I accept any terms of their choosing. Which would leave any guarantee that work is completed totally void. Lastly as per section 2610 of the ************* law "an insurance company cannot require that repairs be made to a motor vehicle in a particular place or repair shop. You have the right to have your vehicle repaired in the shop of your choice." Their request to have my vehicle repaired at their own shop violates my lawful right. I have attached the hold harmless form, original claim form filled out by the parking systems employee which clearly noted damage observed and that the attendant caused the damage. I have also attached the independent appraisal that was done by parking systems and my estimate from my own body shop.

  We have reviewed the complainant's rejection and comments regarding our first response to this complaint.

  We have gone over the original complaint and offer and the options we have available are as follows:

  1. Allow us to repair the vehicle at ****'s Body Works, guarantee the work and provide $50.00 per day towards the cost of a rental. Complainant would be given the corporate discount at Enterprise rental and we are confident he could secure a vehicle that would suit him best;

  2. Accept the amount of $842.00 which is our insurance company's appraisers estimate of the damage; or 

  3. Alternatively, Mr. *** can put the claim through his insurance company.  ************* carrier will settle the matter and subrogate his rights against the parking management company.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

  I will only accept option to have the repairs done at ****** body works if the rental vehicle is covered totally and I do not incur any out of pocket costs for a suitable vehicle to transport myself and my family in the interim while the vehicle is being repaired. I would also like a scope of work that ****'s autobody will be performing AT YOUR COST along with a guarantee that the work would be performed correctly and that I will not be incurring any costs out of pocket to repair the damage to my vehicle while in your valet's care.
