Inexperienced manual driver burnt up my transmission
It was taking a while for my car to arrive and the Valet manager at the Element by Westin a Marriott property, approached me to ask would I be willing to get it myself if he drove me to it because the valet was having trouble getting it uphill.(manual transmission) Guess where this is going...Suddenly there my car appears emitting a horrible stench. I wasn't going to drive it as I was on a road trip and suspected the clutch and transmission were burnt up. Long story short, The manager sent the valet home for the day and let me leave my car in the valet lane for it to be towed to a repair shop the following day. I had 4 witnesses to this. Repair shop confirmed transmission was severely damaged due to driving on the emergency brake uphill and lack of knowledge driving a manual auto. $4000. repair and PMC i Nashville refuses to cover. This is who Marriott entrusts your vehicles with, YELP 1 star rating with 58 reviews as of today.
