you got lucky. 500 hundred thousand dollars of damage would your savings
great video
VINwiki #9 You would have been SALTY AS HELL if that key had some sentimental value. "This WAS my father's car", or "the day I asked my wife to marry me, I was so nervous that I dropped my key when pulling the ring out of my pocket" etcetera, etcetera.

“....actually it’s a 40 million dollar jet. Like it matters, my insurance is capped at 5 million. I’m in big trouble”
That line had me dying lmao 😂.
40 mil new. Much less after it leaves the factory
@@kilroy4843 Forbes says they are closer to $65 million.
@@nimbly1693 Not sure if the jet pictured at 11:38 is the same jet, but if it is, it is a Gulfstream IV. They aren't being made anymore, but they sold for $35 million new. Used ones typically fetch 3-5 million these days.
Did anyone else feel somewhat relieved when the wing flexed allowing the car to miss hitting the ailerons, fuel tank and de icing components🤔
Not sure why the price of the jet is so important when it's not like it's going to be a write off. Only part of it was damaged.
If I owned a valet company, I'd end up in prison for constantly shooting my employees.
That would become an issue.
Lol! Yea, you're right. :)
Hey Junkman, I am a big fan. I met you in Atlanta years ago. BTW no prison time yet
Lol! It's a small world!
Yeah but the big probs come from shooting the ahole car owners though haha

He didn’t say a single “umm” 😳🔥🔥
He speaks very well.
2:15 but for the most part he didn't and that's insane.
man is really good at keeping his cool. Should be a public speaker
my 4th grade teacher would be proud
11:24
xD
it seems that running a valet company is 10% parking cars and 90% dealing with insurance. You've earned your success Alex
Thank you for the kind words but it is actually 90% dealing with our employees!
ARFNSX your presentation was awesome. Great story telling skills 😆
No shortage of entertaining stories in the valet business. Thanks for coming by to share the Alex.
Thank you for allowing me to share my stories!
The plane one was certainly the best.

nothing to see here. move along. The
MORE PLEASE
Damn, imagine hitting a $40m jet that you didnt see hahaha.
"Why did you get fired from your last valet position?"
"I drove a car into a $40m 100ft jet that i didnt see."
"Oh"
It is cringy listening to him talk about that plane..... he knew less than the basics of what was all entailed with a ground incident like that
Zachary French I mean...he owns a valet company not a freaking airline.
@@arjunyg4655 It wasn't the terminology that an actual pilot would use, but I understood what he was getting at.
The "heating element" at the front of the wing would be the de-icing equipment; the leading edge is where most of the ice builds up in flight. There are versions of that using heating (generally a bleed of hot air from the nearest engine) and others that use pneumatic boots. I don't know which one a Gulfstream uses.
The "avionics" at the back of the wing would actually be the flight control surfaces - on the wing those would be the ailerons, flaps, and brake spoilers. Avionics would actually refer to the "aviation electronics" that are in the vicinity of the cockpit, and include navigation equipment, flight instruments, radios, and so on. Definitely expensive to damage, but you're unlikely to crash into them without writing off the entire airframe.
"keep it up and one day your gonna make it" lol. Dude's already a millionaire.
1st time I've actually listen to a story on RUclips from beginning to end with minimal animations
10 stories.
me too!!!

Welcome to the world of vinwiki
"I didnt see the 40 million dollar jet that this entire party was kinda revolved around."
@@packrat6853 no its a planet
Sirens do it for the gram play victim
From experience working at an airport. It can someone be difficult to see aircraft wings, especially long, thin wings at night when driving towards their leading edges. However I do agree she definitely should have been more cautious, and she most likely had seen the plane earlier that day/evening.
That’s what you get for hiring women to drive as a profession.
@@linlin86717455 Please fuck off back to the age of industrialization.
I would never want to own a valet business...
i would
8:11 he's so used to being in customer service mode lol
Exactly
Ran into a plane and it's only $6000? Very lucky. Usually everything in aviation works in increments of $25,000 or $250,000.
+Meat Missile F1-11 definitely. Could have ended exponentially worse.
No kidding! Maybe that was the cost to have someone come out and look at it without needing to fix anything!
Meat Missile F1-11 I can attest to that statement avionics is no joke and the de-icing elements are not fun to replace
That was an unreal stroke of luck!
That's what I was thinking
I think it is about time for 10 MORE Valet Fails.
Only on watch mojo . com!
YEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS

P WrightisRight always bro
That valet was emotionally damaged by damaging that emotional control unit.
Wow guy with the girlfriend...bro you have lost a GEM!
I missed parking cars, so much fun!
This guy is so down to earth. I know he is rich but man he comes off as such a nice person. I'm guessing it's from his experience in the valet industry. I have met many people who have "made it" but none of them come off like this guy. Also damn 40 mil he was lucky on that one.
Thank you very much. This job keeps me very humble.
Staying that level headed amongst all this stress is incredible. I think I would still twitch stalking about some of these years later!
I would love to share that one day
Hes chilled because hes just a reg guy that started at the bottom worked hard and made a name for himself. Not like most rich people who inherited their family business and money.
Jacob Contreras . actually, the majority of millionares did not inherit their wealth. But I've met many wealthy people that are down to earth. Just a media bias presenting celebrities that have attitudes.
The Subaru Outback was so funny.
A lot of very rich people that spend a lot of time in places like Aspen, Telluride or Jackson will drive _old_ Subarus as their second car. If you spend time in affluent areas in the mountains you will see rich people in Subarus everywhere. It wouldn't be inconceivable that a lot of them just use them as second cars in other places as well.
he sounds like a nice person though
rich people drive subies too :s . some of the richest arent flexing in g wagon and bentley trucks
@really dude not everyone trying to flex, but I flex in my AMG even tho I'm a broke boy
Lol he was definitely being a kind person but it's funny af
How is a rearview mirror connected with the cars coolant system??!
Maybe electrically? Otherwise no clue.
as someone who works with car mirrors, it's probably the onstar/emergency response system shorting out (or if it's newer, the rearview camera screen behind the mirror)
Tarman The Champion wtf idk too!
Its similar to how an aircraft's avionics are in the back of the wing.
This gentleman has a great attitude and tells a good story.
I'd work for this guy in a heartbeat. He seems to care about everyone involved in any situation.
+Brigman yes. He would be an awesome boss. He said he has gotten a ton of emails from people wanting to work there since this video has been out.
He’s the difference between managing and leading. As a leader, you never ask someone to do something you wouldn’t do yourself. He’s a leader!
@@brokenmember1658 Cool. What business do you run?
HE doesn't ever tell you the last bit: And then I fired their sorry ass. HE's had over 1000 valets in 20 years... there will have been turnover!
Lmao and you would be fired and or quite within a week. You aren't good at reading people apparently.
why is tiger woods telling me stories about valet services?
He looks nothing like him weirdo
He looks like a husky version of him
After that whole car smash debacle tiger woods had to take on some lesser roles
Its his brother!!
Casper tiger woods put on a microwave
I dont know how I got to this YT channel but I am mad for not knowing about this sooner.
Welcome. Glad you found us. Please help us spread the word!
Nobody:
Female Drivers: I didn't see the 40 million dollar jet the size equivalent of 2 1/2 of my houses, Jesus.
One persons mistake shouldn't reflect on an entire group of people. Just say youre a mysoginst bro.
Apparently these female drivers are saying this to Jesus?
i came here, half-expecting to see a comment like this, but also thinking "surely, this is TOO stupid of a thought to have, no one will ACTUALLY say something this exaggeratedly dumb."
i was wrong.
@@adriennekelly5506 Cry some more, show how sensitive and immature you are.
@@adriennekelly5506 Probably an ASIAN woman. amirite fellas?
One of your employees passes out in carpark - and the business owner takes a photo then calls to complain instead of calling an ambulance & checking if the guy is OK. That's the point where I would say "we don't want your business anymore, as you clearly don't care about our employees or human beings in general" - some people just aren't worth dealing with.
Probably got the food poisoning from a freebie at the client's restaurant.
Probably from the restaurant owner!!!
You are completely right. That guy is a prick for that. Very careless and always wants to find flaws in someone instead of their own shitty selfish selves.
Yeah that's pretty shitty IMO, I would have at least said of course we're taking care of it, can you check and make sure the guy is okay???
Unfortunately you can't just tell people like the restaurant owner to fuck off, they will bad-mouth you among their buddies who are also potential business.
Looking at that picture that isnt a guy taking a nap, thats someone who collapsed. Nobody sleeps like that. The restaurant owner was a POS for not checking on him.
$1500 key... my car isn't even worth that much
And it'll still last longer and be more reliable.
@@TheGuruStud doubt it would last longer more reliably, but sure a bang or even a hammer anywhere on the exterior won't cost me 1.5k lol

Aston Martin DB9..
Keep it up and one day you’re gonna make it
You are one hell of a business owner, you are very humble. I love your energy. ❤
Alex is a good guy, he's great at handling stressful, often bizarre situations and clearly deserves his success.
I died when i saw that valet passed out LMAO
Rest in pieces
Rest in food poison
me too ican imagine a guy taking a picture and sending it to this guy😂😂
Yeah the guy who took the picture is an asshole. He didnt go help
I crashed into a 40mill $ plane but only did 6,000$ worth of damage Jesus is with me
Maybe Jesus should have helped her avoid it in the first place.

This Comment is On Steroids thank you
4:03 Cracked me up 😂” in a Subaru Outback”
Can I just say how much a respectable owner you are, you turn up and help at big events when you could just sit around and not do anything so serious props to you man!
Bentley owners sound lovely.
i got a 100 bill from one. but yeah these folks liked to be remembered
They are.
Bentley owners are the same type as Rolls Royce owners, but they like to be different and stand out and typically live in New Jersey.
that guy i think seriously thinks that "I have the Bentley, they'll remember me", when anymore, several people can have one at a decent enough place
Gus Kipper they’re... they’re something else
"Dont drive with your frunk open"
At first I thought the valet should not drive with an open fly.
Pierce Mellott got some junk in the frunk
Dont frunk with your drive open
Keep your frunk closed
Front trunk bruh
Loved the 'Subaru Outback' story, nothing against Subaru, mind you... but like his humor and the way he tells them.
Excellent content, kudos, and thank you!
Just love this, so very entertaining, the tales of a valet company, I can imagine that there are some stories he can't tell us too! Great video, thanks for sharing. Good luck to the company too!
I never heard anyone running into a jet before.
I wonder if he called his insurance company before he decided to just pay it out of pocket because it wasn't millions of dollars.
Nobody is talking about the moron driver.
Did he just hire her for "looks"?
Either she has very bad eyesight or she backs up while only looking at a narrow ass rear view mirror, lol.
98% of our claims are paid out of pocket to keep our premiums down.
Never a jet, but seen people hit helicopters.
Tough to imagine watching a Bugatti run into a curb like that.
Makes me want to cry
I’d love to see it
Tough does not begin to describe it. Absolutely heartbreaking is more like it.
That owner is a disgrace
VINwiki the amount of clinch on that curb fail would have permanently sealed my poophole!
By far one of the best car channels on youtube. Love these stories
Thank you for sharing sir! You are Awesome!
I'm glad this showed up on my recommendation.
That is how I found them in the first place but now it is the first video I watch each day.
John Morales same. that ai algorithm really knows me better than I know myself.
Why?
The valet business must be one hell of a stressful business.
More thank you know. I have had MANY sleepless nights...
ARFNSX I can only imagine... Respect ✊!
Brian The Explorer Oooh, I bet you have a lot of fabulous stories to tell!😬
i dont know why but i love the way of alex telling the stories! finally a video with no clickbait and pictures of the accidents
Ive been watching car channels on YT for years, you guys are great. This message was going to be multiple paragraphs of praise but I think I can sum it up short by saying you have filled the void in my soul left by Motor Trend.
Oh man being an owner of a business like that must be scary lol you never know when you will have to pay $100,000 in damages
That's what insurance is for.
@@kbpl369 Until someone hits a 40$ million jet and your insurance caps at 5
It’s every business out there and employee still want higher minimum wages
@@lel3450 Yep. If you can't afford to pay employees fairly then you shouldn't be employing people. Compared to 1965 minimum wage has HALF the purchasing power today.
How did you not have a heart attack after an employee smashed a car into a 40 million dollar jet lol? Great stories and glad thats all you've had happen in 20yrs of business and good luck for the next 20yrs. Thanks for sharing.
That Aston key breaking is so typical, I used to work with Astons a lot and so many had chipped or broken keys.
Man this guy has some wicked stories. Seems like the type of guy who you could listen to for hours over a bottle of whiskey.
His voice was soothing
idk what it is about it but i love his voice
ditto
Honestly not trolling- but I barely made it through, with all the over-enunciating it was driving me crazy.
He sounds like he might be gay
Sadie Adler asmr anyone?
These videos are so interesting and different than anything on RUclips I love it so much its so awesome and cool
Thanks so much. Which one has been your favorite?
SMALZSMALZ never even seen a naked girl
SMALZSMALZ not even a through the pants hand job I bet
Christopher Smith there are definitely nude women on youtube normally in the body painting vids
12:41
even the camera man laughed 😂😂😂
Mate that was the speaker
God Bless You Man!!! I would have a heart attack every time a client called me about an accident.
For being the owner of an incredibly large valet company, I'm truly amazed at how humble and kind he is. You never really see many people as wealthy as he is that are just simply as nice as he is, or at least that's how he seems from the video. As a valet, having him as a boss would be a blessing. I work for a decent-sized valet company, and even Area managers are hotheaded, rude, and inconsiderate. Hats off to you, Alex.
That dude just sounds great to work for lol kept his cool explaining what happened most people would still have lost there shit lmao
Funny thing is someone assumed you were just a valet, yet because he drove a Subaru Outback everyone assumed he was a nobody.
Nice stories, my uncle owned a valet company and one of our clients was the Queen City Club in Cincinnati...a millionaire/big shot club in the city...the stories we could share...people taking the wrong cars, etc. Good stuff, keep up the good work, people underestimate the money to be made in the business.
Yesss give us more valet fails
Also damn dude you're humble I wouldn't really see you owning an expensive business if I just saw you in the street
Thank you, I should do one for the top 10 excuses via text messages from valets. Spend one day in our offices and I am sure you will get more than you need.
Humble and successful
Thats not racist or bigoted sounding
@@Sandi_shores_lands_fish you're right...it ISN'T racist or bigoted sounding at all.
Sad, miserable, sorry excuses for humans use the "racist" BS way too much these days.
Not everything is "racist"! Actually, very few incidents are racist in nature but people have a tendency to really reach to try to make it a racist issue.
*I don't know why RUclips recommended this to me but I'm glad I watched it. Lol his voice is soothing*
Great stories from lots of experience...!! Hotlanta is a wild place full of drama and alcoholics
definitely sounds like the type of valet I dont want handling my car, but yet at the same time Alex seems like the most respectable man of all time.
I'd pay good money for a show solely about Alex and his valet empire, Sounds like it would be hilariously good, especially when shit hits the fan
Akia probably some moron engineer who’d thought running can wires going in through the mirror.
Thought this was Tiger Woods telling the stories
WHOMEGALUL
if it was he'd had puffy eyes from drugs and he'd be crashing a car
Yeesh seems like you dodged a bullet with the gulf stream incident and it's repair cost. Great stories and great content as always VINwiki!
I'm going to go on a limb and say this has been one of the most cool series of stories on VINWiki thus far!
crazy stories, Love these videos!
Woah...
This is BS I did valet in Las Vegas for 30 years and it doesn't work this way this guy is just babbling more BS Vegas valets make too much money to play games like this. This is hurting himself by saying this kind of crap. This guy has no clue how valet works. He is just talking crap likes to talk big money damage numbers what a fool. This guy has never parked a large flow of cars in and out. Real valets aren't impressed by cars it's about the money and even Bentleys ticketed and shipped without front money I could go on about this guy but not worth it. Also I did the 30 years at the same hotel casino
no way, the exotics man himself
Adam Lewis 🤣👍
Love this channel
Nobody asked
Lol rekt
Joe Parkington why? It's fake? You like crystal?? Dumb as shit.
Enfurno

All businesses that I own are like this , customers complain workers complain but money is still made and you have to find a synergy between the two, this was a great video, because it showed ownership and accountability,
That was hands down one of the most unusual and interesting videos I've seen in a long while. This guy is ice cold about the mishaps I love it!
Woman drivers.... I didn't see the air plane 😂😂😂😂
clearly wasn't a gold digger.... otherwise she'd have seen that plane before the cars
Lol ikr!
What next? Is she gonna hit a sub?
I'm not a "car guy" not do I really care for "car guys" but the few videos I have seen on this channel have been incredibly entertaining. The video of the guys 1st car being a cop car got me hooked. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much! We obviously want to maintain a broad appeal. Let us know which other videos you really enjoy and perhaps even some that get overly technical.
Alex seems like a nice person. Hope you make it big one day, Alex.
Great video very entertaining! Good luck in the future Alex
Loved the Suburu outback story. Can tell this guy has always been a good person. Just goes to show always be humble, dont be smug, ever! because the guy in the toilets selling aftershave could employ another 20 sales people earning way more than your 9-5 wasteman self.
Anybody wanting to start their own business- regardless of whatever it may be- should be required to see Alex's video here on VINwiki first. Never in a million years would you think all these nightmare scenarios would ever occur. The lockbox incident was a one in a million situation, but the Lear Jet.......man, the odds of that ever happening is miniscule, but as we can see, not impossible!
wow what you have already experienced is great to hear
I wish I would ever get the opportunity to work for this guy. Cars are a passion. So many people dont understand how important a car might be to any given person. Props to this dude for owning a Murcielago and having his business under that much control.
I think I laughed this whole video. I have worked with Alex during school breaks for 2 years now. Prestige is a great company, but of course, there will be some hiccups. Great video, i'd love to see more in the coming years.
Bruh, I'm over here watching these vids and I thought I already subscribed months ago.
Love the channel y'all deserve more subs keep up the good content
Love this, as I am a Valet, I can vouch for all of these occurrences, except the gulf stream jet. Great portrayal, I can tell you wear the regular uniform, my managers do as well.
I could listen to that guy all day
Wow what a high risk business need to look for highly educated workers for that kind of business
ray tobing Yeah, with such high stakes and repeat clients being essential, you’d think he would invest in better drivers and make it worth their while.
Better than fast food, but nothing special.
People with major education dont wanna be parking cars after they're educated because they more than likely worked as a valet going through school as a majority of valets are.
This is probably the most polite person I have ever seen in my life.
You know you're a car guy when you pause and sigh after "curb check"😂😂
That was an excellent interview. He is very well spoken and comes off as an incredibly nice guy. I would definitely be interested in hearing more from him.
Incredible stories, thanks for posting.
I found this channel 2 days ago and binge watched ever since. But Alex is imho the best storyteller, he's not the least agitated when telling even the most cringeworthy accidents by his employees, I just love watching him keeping his cool when talking about the driver hitting a 40m $ plane ;)
Well done, I loved this
Valet business runs with the word "Luckily "
Thanks for this one. I love a top 10.
Bugatti owner: "You can't do any worse, have fun".
Valet: Hold my beer....
That was a good one ... great stories
I like this guys voice for some reason
This are interesting and sometimes cringing stories got to love them!!!
I love this channel because there are so many people who are successful at the American Dream. They all had a vision, a passion and followed it into the sunset. It's really inspiring! More money more problems as they say! The new problems are way more fun than the old problems it sounds!
I just started watching your videos today and I've watched about 4 videos alright
I like it
Lmao I remember watching that valet that got robbed on WSB giving his interview!
I bet he is really famous now. Our very own Ron Burgundy.
This is simply fascinating
The lesson I got from this is : Pay more for smarter employees. Of course sh*t still happens, but it would cut down on the "running into stationary objects " problem quite a bit.
