Have any of you used valet service yet?

I'm using it today...waiting for my car to be returned. Do you think it's appropriate to tip the driver?

Have used their valet service many times over the past 3 Lincolns, most of those with the 24 Nautilus. Have never thought to tip the drivers as they are FT employees of the dealership. Interesting thought though...

Hi Rasherms00. We don’t need to. Anymore than we need to tip the mechanic/tech, Service Advisor etc.

However, there’s no reason not to tip, if you wish to.

Good luck.

I would never tip for such a service,

I didn’t.

Unless he dropped off the car with a pizza in it, I probably wouldn't tip.

I will say I have some concerns based on my first and only experience with valet service. Pickup from my office was fine. I had told them I didn't need a loaner as long as they could promise to have my car back by 4. No problem they said. I was wondering if they would pick it up on a flatbed or send two people....they sent two people so someone drove my car the 25 miles to the dealership.

I called at 2:30 to check on my car, SA told me the car wash was backed up and it would be on it's way back to me shortly. At 3:30 I checked the app, and the car was still at the dealer. I texted SA, no response. Closer to 4 I called, they were finishing up. I thought you said they were done at 2:30? No, they are finishing up now. Bottom line I got my car back at 5:20.

What was a little interesting to me, perhaps in an OCD kind of way, was that my fuel economy (which I always keep visible on the display) which was at 30.9 in the morning, was at 30.5 upon return. Apparently the valet's driving habits are a little different than mine!

Anyway the updates were done. I have noticed many of the same minor things as others (blinker sounds, some background color changes). I know they addressed the recall, but it still shows on my app, and no record of the service shows up on my app....maybe that will change?

It takes a week or maybe even more.

Our updates took about 72 hours to apply. Clean slate now online and in the app.
