If you are drinking or dining at The Big Fish Tavern and Grill, be sure to get your parking chit validated the first 1 and a half hours of parking here is then free. If you stay for longer, it costs only $5 more. Without validation, parking at full price is $15. Note: there is a nice elevator in the middle to uses so you're not competing with cars on the ramp. How civilized!

Instead of a coin-operated meter, you can park in an unmarked space then walk to a kiosk that accepts cash or credit card to get a ticket to display on your dashboard. The paper is marked with the date/time, meter number, and transaction number. Unfortunately, the count starts once you insert your money in instead of when you push the button to print the slip.

My girlfriend and I went to dinner in Newport Beach at Shorebird restaurant. We were looking for…read moreparking and stumbled into the old spaghetti restaurant parking lot located right next to Shorebird. I asked the parking attendant where I can find parking as we were going to eat at Shorebird. The attendant said that the parking lot was valet for the Old Spaghetti restaurant but they also allow outside parking for $5 valet as well. We decided to use their valet service at $5. When we finished our dinner at shorebird, we went to retrieve my car. I gave my ticket to an attendant named Wade and he said it's $10 because we didn't eat at the spaghetti factory. This rude, obnoxious, Caucasian, red haired, bearded guy then proceeds to tell me that I'm a liar because they charge $10 not $5 for non spaghetti factory patrons. My friend and I are pretty sure he was making stuff up. First he said it's $10 because we didn't go to spaghetti factory. Then he said parking is only for spaghetti factory. He said we were lying about being told it's $5. Then he said we must've lied and said we were going to spaghetti factory in order to park there. Since it looks like they sell monthly parking he lied about it being for spaghetti factory customers only. He was yelling and berating my friend and I in a racist and discriminating way because we are two non Caucasian women???? He continued to argue aggressively and loudly in front of other patrons telling us to get off his lot and don't ever return. He yelled aloud that it's just an extra $5 and we made a big deal about it. My friend and I were so shocked at his lack of professionalism. I told him that it's about ethics and that the attendant who took in our car said $5 for parking and eating at Shorebird so that needed to be honored. My friend and I were willing to give a tip but because of his atrocious behavior we only paid the $5. Eating at shorebird is a much more fine dining experience than the old spaghetti factory so it was not about the money. It was about ethics. This guy Wade or whatever his name is should never be working anywhere dealing with people in public. He has serious aggression issues and zero customer service. He placed the establishment in jeopardy due to his unacceptable and volatile behavior. Whoever hired this guy needs to access his behavior, performance and do a better job on his background check.

Cheyne is your guy if you're looking to have a professional lift installed. Look no further these…read moreguys are pros at what they do. I worked directly with Cheyne and placed an order on Challenger CLFP9 to accommodate 11' garage ceiling. I wanted to have a two post lift so I can work on cars. On the day of the install his crew came out installed the lift, reel, tested the unit and were out in 3hrs, amazing! Results speak for themselves.. now I have a full blown workshop and a 4 car garage. I would highly suggest CBI to anyone!

Like many folks, I have too many cars for my garage. So I went shopping for a parking lift to allow…read moremore storage inside my garage (who wants to leave a collector car outside on the street?). There are several brands and options out there, but I didn't want to coordinate shipping to my home/installers to arrive/etc. Then I found that Costco sells a lift and does this coordination with a local installer. This is called "white glove" service from Costco. I bought a Challenger parking lift for my garage from Costco. These are fairly bulky, heavy items that require professional installation, so the lift is delivered directly to an authorized installer, who will deliver it to your home and set things up for use. CBI is an installer contracted with Costco, and handled the installation. Shane and his CBI team (led by Garth) are a very professional and efficient bunch. Scheduling the lift installation (this is not something for the average person to do alone) was a piece of cake. I was called by Shane once the lift arrived at their business, and we arranged installation a few days from that date. On the appointed day, the boys installed the home parking lift in my garage in just a few hours. All calls were returned promptly, and they were exactly on time. The guys were polite and cleaned up all their equipment and left zero trash, etc. And, of course, the lift performs exactly as expected. Once installed, Garth demonstrated the use of the lift and explained the details of the installation. Overall, I can not recommend CBI highly enough.
