Frequently Asked Questions

How does CarShake prove vehicle damage before valet parking?

CarShake runs a three-stop protocol: you scan the car before handing over the keys, generate a QR-coded handover receipt, then scan again on retrieval. Each scan captures timestamped, geotagged photos that document the exact condition of the vehicle. That evidence chain is court-admissible and settles false damage claims fast, protecting both the driver and the valet operator.

What does CarShake cost for a valet operator?

CarShake is free for individual drivers who want to document a single handover. Valet operators, rental fleets, and dealerships use paid plans that add unlimited scans, team accounts, branded receipts, and audit-trail exports. Pricing scales by monthly handover volume, so a small hotel valet stand pays far less than a busy airport parking operation processing thousands of cars.

Why do valet businesses get hit with false damage claims?

A customer retrieves their car, spots a scratch they never noticed before, and blames the valet. Without timestamped proof of pre-existing condition, the operator usually pays. Studies of parking operations show damage disputes are a top source of chargebacks and insurance friction. CarShake removes the ambiguity by fixing the vehicle's condition in verifiable photos at both handover points.

Can CarShake evidence be used in an insurance dispute?

Yes. Every CarShake scan is stamped with a date, time, and location, and the photos are stored immutably so they cannot be edited after the fact. Insurers and small-claims courts accept this kind of contemporaneous, tamper-evident record. Operators simply export the handover receipt as a PDF and attach it to the claim, turning a he-said-she-said dispute into a documented fact.
