Heathrow valet parking
Discussion
Just had a really bad experience so I don't recommend the Official T3 Valet Parking.
The problem is that the collection area is a dimly lit area of the T3 car park, on the last occasion I parked there my car was parked tightly up against a large black Range Rover, I guess I should have been suspicious but I didn't notice any obvious damage. However once I stopped at a Petrol Station on the way home I noticed the black carbon fibre splitter on the front of my car had been cracked. I complained to APCOA who basically said, tough you didn't report it before you left!
If you use ANY valet parking service, perform a detailed inspection of the car, as if you were buying it when you get back, including moving it to a better area of the car park to inspect it properly.
This particular part on my car will cost several thousand to replace, so personally I'll go to short stay and I'm not giving my keys to anyone again in the future!
