How To Fight Back If A Parking Garage Has Damaged Your Car

In last week’s edition of Parkazine, we talked about scams that people have complained about at various parking garages. Perhaps the worst thing that can happen is to come back to the parking garage and find your car damaged. Parkazine reader Sheila sent in her story:

"We have parked our car in a local indoor garage as a monthly customer for the past five years. We just bought a new car 1 month ago - we have 2 problems already and I am looking for advice on how to get some redress. First, we know they have cars parked so close that sometimes they get in through the window. Now we have a big rip in the leather door panel just at the window, clearly from a shoe. Worse, a tire light went off so we brought the car to the dealer who informed us the spare which has to be released with a bolt from the interior and is a fairly lengthy process, had been stolen! Because Lexus puts a full tire with matching car rim as a spare, replacing it cost $1000! The door panel will cost $700 to replace. As we only drive to a weekend house with a garage, and the tire requires interior access and time to release, there is no question the theft happened at the garage. Will I get anywhere with them on reimbursement (and getting them to check their employees better)? What is my best course of action?"

Could Your Parking Garage Be Scamming You?

Parkazine reader Dan sent in this account of his recent experience at a parking garage: "I pulled in to the lot - normal posted signs of rates/hours and credit card (Visa/MC) up on the wall. I pulled in and told the attendant I would be approximately 3 hours. Upon my return to get my car, I was told at the window that it was CASH only......I actually didn't have the cash... I had 2 credit

How Far Can I Park From a No Parking Anytime Sign?

Parkazine reader Magdalena emailed us this question: "I have a question regarding a "no parking anytime sign" as I recently received a parking ticket for a parking in a place where I think it is allowed to park. I will try to give you a picture of the place where I parked which is on Booth Street in Queens. There is a sign "no parking anytime" with that red arrow and then there is a driveway (which goes in between the playground and the school building) and next the playground for pupils. I haven't blocked the driveway but parked along the playground where the other cars are usually parked. There is no other sign telling you to what distance the 'no parking sign anytime' applies? Are there any restrictions on how far you can park your vehicle from the 'no parking anytime' sign similar to no parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant?"
