Alex Farrington from Prestige Valet Service came by a while ago to tell us about some of his crazy experiences valeting cars. You all loved them so we asked if he had any more. He sure did!

Perfect examples of a small business entrepreneur overcoming a lot of difficult situations.

[@rodneyfosdick4380]

It's all about perseverance in small business to become successful

[@john-paulsilke893]

That’s why he’s so successful. Any idiot can get a dozen mouth breathers to drive cars to a lot and bring people their cars. There is virtually no skill involved, simply minor competence and the simple ability to show up on time for work and do your job, (this is true for most jobs). When you have a dozen or more employees you begin to realize how rare those minor skills are. I have a small construction company and I swear to God I will hire anyone who is capable of showing up on time every time and the ability to follow simple instructions. I literally fired more then 20 people last year who didn’t learn these basic rules after more then a dozen infractions. I however didn’t fire a guy who cost me $30,000 on an incorrect sheet wall assembly which failed an caused the stucco and chimney to fracture and settle. He’s worth way more to me now since he screwed up because he is capable of learning and ALWAYS shows up and doesn’t know how to make excuses for his failures. (I’m not sure I would have caught the sheer wall assembly issues myself but I would have called the engineer because it was weird, which he now does at the drop of a hat).

@@john-paulsilke893 Hey boss its Scott, I saw you on KZbin so I figured this would be a good place to let you know that I cant make it into work tomorrow because reasons. Sorry. ;)

[@john-paulsilke893]

That hurts bro. Hector and Eugene both bailed on me today and I was up a friggin tree on city property chopping limbs without a permit. Holy Hell, it’s not like I wouldn’t pay their fines for them and throw an extra hundred or so for their troubles if they got pinched. ☹️ Customers who pay 95% of the taxes need a view and I’m gonna make sure their roof top hot tub gives them that view.

[@SB-SB]

@@john-paulsilke893 I'm sorry brother but if it helps any you seem like a good person to work for. Hector and Eugene better kick it into gear or I'm coming for that ass. You tell em I said that. Dont tell them you told me their names first though to make it extra scary.

[@ChunkyMonkaayyy]

I once got accused of following someone home from work. They said I was flashing my headlights at them, tailing them, trying to figure out where they lived. Gave exact times and everything. They told my boss they wanted me fired. I was literally at dinner with my boss for three hours that night so had my back. LOL people are crazy.

[@Hope4NewDay1]

Damn a three hour dinner. Ya'll must have multiple stomachs or incredible chemistry and story telling

[@ChunkyMonkaayyy]

Slow drinks with friends.

[@miskatonic6210]

Maybe someone else did something like that to them. When you're scared and have no explanation for what was going on your brain desperately tries to find connections.

[@edwardhowe8446]

As ppll

[@gravyd316]

@@miskatonic6210 That's called paranoid scizophrenia not a regular function of the average human brain. If you consider that to be normal........get checked.

[@therush420]

She was using that dummy for the carpool lane lol

[@Harry_Ballz]

That's genius.

[@apocali3]

These videos are literally the highlight of my day when they are up

[@MagicNomadic]

I’m addicted too!

[@martinsk8798]

I love them, you don’t need to watch the video so they are kinda of a VODcast, therefore I start my day working on the office while listening to some stories

[@micahfrye8885]

Same really cheered me up after my truck was broken into

[@RobinsM]

$1200 for a boot fee? might as well spend $120 at a hardware store and buy a saw

[@markcovka6549]

Ruben that's for 17 cars tho

[@meowmeow10149]

markcovka nigga 120 is for 17 also

[@volkswagenginetta]

i think he meant it takes a while to cut the boots off, that and you would most certianly go through more then 1 blade cutting through a boot let alone 17

[@davidsitter3718]

Not to mention that its probably not exactly legal to cut boots off.

[@Honeypot-x9s]

They tend to use hardened steel, but 4 saws, bottle of mineral oil or tool oil, and bag full of blades and a few guys... boots be off in no time with minimal damage and costs :)

[@John1911]

When he was accused with stealing Jimmy Buffett tickets and he deadpans, “I don’t even know who that is”; I’m hooked. You can really tell this guy has dealt with a lot of screaming banshee nutcases.

[@doubleutubefan5]

It was the part 1 of this valet video series it got me hooked on within Wiki I love hearing it especially since I'm in the Valet business

[@samn6498]

Yeah same here

[@samuelbeck816]

doubleutubefan5 same

[@Lovin_NY93]

Same.

[@carpassion96]

Yup, same here.

[@chrismorse3862]

I was actually thinking the opposite how I didn't watch any of their videos for months after the clickbait thumbnail of the 1st valet one

[@isaacwilmescreative5588]

The valet accidents videos are the ones I subbed for (still love all the others though) keep up the great work!

[@Sbaslmz]

It were the stories abt Ed’s & Doug’s cars for me

[@SuperSaiyan3985]

These Valet was fails are the best! Part 3 please!

[@HotboiEngineering]

Make the valet podium a Faraday cage so no one can skim it.

[@boxedfender4810]

Brap Brap my thoughts exactly

[@Anankin12]

Easy to do, too

[@RBRat3]

That's why you put a skimmer on a keyring and go have yourself a short dinner ;)

[@elliottjewell5898]

@@RBRat3 Or in other word, "That's why you use a different way to commit a crime".

[@ThatSkylineDude]

Why don’t y’all have over a million followers yet? I love these videos been subbed since 5k!

[@twistingterrain7748]

No wonder people hate us! The place I work is valet only, no self park option which is due to a very small and tight parking lot. Our insurance forbids self parking because it increases risk of damage. All you have to be is confident and people tend to hand their keys over pretty quickly. Including the gentleman last night in his McClaren 720S

[@sammcwilliams2266]

Easily the best VINwiki series. Alex is a great storyteller!

[@Hold-my-beer]

I used to work as a valet attendant about 10 years ago. I had a customer accuse me of stealing his spare tire. The only reason I was cleared was because the idiot made the accusation without even opening his trunk. The cops were called my car was searched and even the cop didn't believe him. He had a Lincoln town car and I drove a rsx the damn lug pattern wasn't even close. Other than a few other petty accusations it was a pretty cool job, especially for a young car enthusiast.

[@ohms5054]

Wow. That's so weird. "Whatcha do with my spare tire boy?" You're like "Are you high as fuck?" Was he trying to scam your company for a new spare tire? You can't make something like that up. lol

[@joeottsoulbikes415]

The janitorial business has many of the same issues. I had an employee bring her teen to clean an office once. While there her son stole a set of tickets to a Mariners baseball game. We found out because the business owner got his tickets replaced thinking he lost them. He showed up to the game and found the janitors son in his seats at the game. Needless to say we did a few months of free cleaning and had to let that janitor go.

[@randynorley1406]

This is the best channel that I have ever seen! Thank you so much VINWiki for the excellent entertainment 😁

[@randynorley1406]

@VINWIKI Thank you so much for liking it means a lot to me to know that you read what I had to say and took your time to like it! Thank you!

Last time I was this early, the LaFerrari hadn't left the payment.

I have seen a comment of yours on another video, I remember because I wiped my screen when I thought there was a hair on it

[@waleedalim.6128]

Woah, TWO stories in a day!!! Thanks for making my boring day a whole lot better!!

[@strelok_]

Valet in #1 was part of the inside job to take the cars. He left them there then someone else stole the vehicles.

[@ARFNSX]

The police investigated him assuming the same thing. We are still trying to figure out what happened

[@acciuntxyz3462]

I think he WAS the inside job, hance why he only took 2 cars, and then probably couldn't sell them cause of them bieng really hot

[@V8_Diva]

Acciunt XYZ i don't know why people immediately turn to selling them. If they were smart they would part them out.

[@acciuntxyz3462]

LtSenpai probably cause he doesn't have a chop shop/garage, to part it out you need a place where you can take it, we'll, apart without drawing much attention from those looking for it or your nosy neighbors that will definitely wonder why you are taking apart a really nice car

[@flexinclouds]

This is 100% what happened

[@gavinloge373]
