INTERVIEW with BILL - Parking Garage manager

Does the parking garage you work for damage vehicles? "Well we try our best to use caution, but unfortunately we frequently damage the bumpers....accidents happen."

How often does the parking garage damage vehicles and why does it happen? "I’d say quite frequently, depending on who does the driving....as you may know there is a high turnover rate for parking attendants, and we also get new people, some of whom are horrible drivers. It is almost inevitable that a vehicle will be damaged in a parking garage because of the limited space, overcrowding, and poor lighting conditions. Listen, we don’t get paid enough to baby sit your car."

What do you do when the customer complains about damage? "As a rule we almost always deny responsibility for the damage... sometimes the driver just goes away (laugh) not noticing the damage."

What do you think about the BumperPad and can it help reduce the number of damages that occur in the parking garage? "Yes, the BumperPad will definitely reduce or eliminate entirely damage to the front and rear bumper. The parking attendants here are very receptive to the idea and do not mind attaching it for customers... of course a $1 tip never hurt either."

Can you offer any advice to people who are scared to park there expensive new car in your garage? "My advice is to look for a reputable parking garage that has few complaints, and get yourself a front and rear BumperPad."
