"Imagine this scenario: You've gone out of town for whatever reason, driving your Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. (If we had a Gallardo, you'd bet that taking road trips would be high on the agenda). Anyway, you get to your hotel, surrender your supercar's keys to the valet, and go on with your business. When it's time to leave, they go to retrieve your car and ... it's gone. That nightmare is just what happened to Eric Vargosko when he took his droptop lambo to Atlanta's Intercontinental Hotel. The swank hotel in the upscale Buckhead neighborhood was the last place Vargosko saw his car until it turned up a month later, damaged." 
We are constantly tweaking our valet equipment products for more durability and better usability. To help us engineer and design, our team exclusively uses Solidworks 2009. In the past we've used Pro-E and Alias solid modeling programs but since 2007 we've found Solidworks to consistently meet our needs better and faster. Solidworks enables us to design a podium from a series of sketches and solid surface tools. Using the software also allows us to rapidly update exisiting products or create new parts.
One of the main advantages of Solidworks 2009 to design the Valet Spot's unique line of valet equipment is the rendering capabilities. We can take your concept podium or kiosk within the software and transform them from ideas into images and technical drawings that gives your client a good sense of color, scale, and cost.
