Bad Experiences With Parknfly At Sydney Airport?


Recommended Posts

Hi

I am discussing with them what I believe is damage from leaving my car there (details to follow once cleared up) and wondered if anyone else had any experiences to speak of. Please PM me if you think its going to cause the thread to be locked.

If you have worked there, or know anyone I would also like to talk to you.

Cheers

Ned

I've used them heaps of times, and never had a problem with them.

I NEVER leave my skyline there though. I always borrow the g/f's car. I just dont trust ANY other people with my car unless its a trusted mechanic or similar though. It's much easier to take the temptation out of their hands :mad:

But with regards to your issue, I guess damage is inevitable considering the number of cars they need to shuffle around all day. It's just a matter of whether they're willing to accept fault in the unfortunate case it does happen :)

Ive seen and reported people jacking cars, wheels from there..

Had my 325i parked there new m3 next to it, come back to my car to find them jacking the m3's wheels (night time) they got what they deserved... even with the security cameras they can do that!?

I've used them heaps of time also (not with the Skyline though) and never had a problem, so I'm a little dissapointed to hear of other peoples bad experiences...might think twice before using them again.

Hope you get things sorted Ned

Hi all,

thanks for the messages, they do help believe me. I have used them heaps of times and always believed that they looked after the cars, but a recent experience suggest they may have a few loose cannons.

I havent experienced any bumps or scrapes (although a mate did), however I believe they may have moved my car around the park a little enthusiastically resulting in damage.

Any more experiences would be welcome by PM or the forum.

Cheers

Ive used them heaps of times. Ive got a company car so i dont give a shit if it gets a few knocks.

The only problem ive had: The first time i ever used them i left a new bottle of my mother expensive perfume in the centre glove box. When i returned it was not there. I guess there was not much i could do about it!!

hmm problem with all car parks is they will not offer to accept responsibility for any damage. how would you prove it was their fault and the car was not damaged when you left it there?

As Kel mentioned I park there every week and have had 2 scrapes now, the worst means we need a new front bar on the 350z. I didn't follow it up even though it is worth a couple of hundred :sleep: ..... I previously had a car stolen from a "secure" car park and they did nothing about it would not even provide security footage to the cops.

Now days I just leave the ute there. They are more likely to damage their building than dent the navara.

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
