By Jeff Rossen
(New York-WABC, February 12, 2004) — Anyone who parks in New York City — in a garage or on the street — knows all too well the risks involved. Dents, dings and scratches usually end up all over your car, but especially on the bumpers.

A survey of parking garages indicates that the number of accident related complaints are going up. Part of the reason is that almost all vehicles today have painted plastic bumpers that are vulnerable to damage, and expensive to fix. Another reason is that many garages hire new parking attendants, without checking their past driving record or employment history. A high turn over rate and low pay, means that there are always new parking attendants on the scene, many of whom are inexperienced and unqualified to park your car safely. A survey conducted by bumperpad.com questioned parking garage customers about their parking experience.

Our goal was to determine the most common complaints and concerns of customers. The data showed that the most common complaint in parking garages was damage to the front and rear bumpers, especially the corners. In addition, the majority of people (85%) feared that their vehicle would be damaged in the garage, and more than 79% of people claim to have had their bumpers damaged in a garage at least once. Statistically, the majority of all bumper scratches occur during parking maneuvers. In most instances, the damage occurs when the vehicle is unsupervised or through the negligence of another driver (i.e. parking garage guy).

There is no question that accidents happen when parking, usually when you least expect it. Repairing a damaged bumper can easily cost hundreds of dollars in out of pocket expense, since many insurance policies have a $500 or more deductible which you have to pay. If you think the parking garage will pay for the damage, then you are dreaming. Many parking garages have minimal insurance and some second rate garages do not have adequate insurance. Why take a chance? The BumperPad is affordable and easy to use – taking only seconds to attach or remove. Fold it, throw it in your trunk and it will be ready to use anytime.

No more arguing with the parking attendant or filling out a claim report. We all know that these accidents can happen. So, why waste money on expensive repairs or drive a damaged vehicle with scratches? When you purchase our bumper protectors or bumper guards you are taking a proactive approach to protecting your investment. Save your money and the worry! get a BumperPad today!
