How Long Do I Have to Claim Valet Damage?
Time limits for valet damage claims. Most facilities require 24-48 hours. Always document immediately.
What You Need to Know
Parking damage disputes come down to evidence. Without documentation of your car's condition before parking, you have no way to prove the damage was caused by the valet or parking facility. CarShake solves this by creating a timestamped, GPS-verified record in under 60 seconds.
How CarShake Helps
Before you park: open CarShake and walk around your car. The app photographs and AI-verifies the condition, noting any pre-existing damage. When you return, scan again. The comparison instantly shows any new damage with indisputable evidence.
Next Steps
Don't park unprotected. A 60-second scan before valet parking saves hours of dispute resolution and potentially thousands of dollars in repair costs.

How long does a CarShake scan take?
Approximately 60 seconds for a full exterior scan. The AI processes images in real-time and immediately flags any condition changes.
