After renting his car out on Turo, a popular peer-to-peer car rental app, he discovered that borrowers were taking it apart and replacing parts.
It's not a stretch to assume that the borrowers were trying to get away with a bunch of official parts.
A TikTok video by Frank Valdez, spotted by a fan site, shows him confronting a man at an autobody shop.
It seems like you are replacing some stuff. Should I call the cops?
A man at the garage says he only replaced the front bumper.
It is a reminder that renting out your vehicle to strangers comes with some inherent risks, especially if it is a buzzy brand. A driver rented a car and flew it up and down a hill in Los Angeles last month.
It seems likely that they swapped out cheaper parts so they could sell Valdez's.
Turo's terms of service state that vehicles rented out through the company are only covered by the vehicle owner's and borrowers own automobile policies.
Even if the body shop were simply a vehicle, the borrowers aren't allowed to use it.
The story has a happy ending with the returned vehicle being largely unscathed.
According to him, law enforcement called and they didn't want to show up.
The owner of a Model 3 car CarRentals CarRentals CarRentals caught a body shop replacing his car parts after renting it on Turo.
