Valet Parking Damage Photos: Build a Dispute Packet

Capture the handoff

If you can, photograph the car before handoff and immediately after return. Include the valet area or parking garage context.

Separate old and new marks

A good packet identifies known existing damage so the new disputed issue is easier to evaluate.

Keep your message factual

A concise factual email is more useful than accusations that the photos cannot support.

FAQ

What evidence helps with valet damage?

Before photos, after photos, valet ticket, location, timestamp, and any written incident report or staff message.

Should I include unrelated old damage?
