I realized i've been tipping $2 for about 10 years. Is this too little?

$3 is the average

depends on where it is, how far the car is, etc. that being said, two or three bucks.

Restaurant, 2-3, hotel more depending on length and times in and out.

I tip the guy parking the car $5 usually. Maybe $2 to the guy who brings it back. I just hope they park it where it won't get door dings and are nice to the clutch.

Nothing. That's their job

Depending on the establishment... anywhere from $3-$5

.0002% of what the car is worth.

I valeted at a decent hotel.
In general:
$2-5 from people that look like they've had their car valeted before
$0 or $10+ from people that look like first timers who don't know what to do.
$2-3 is what I'd do

Apparently people usually tip a lot. I've never valeted but my brother used to work at the raddison downtown as well as a few other hotels and claims it was the best money he ever made.

$3-$5...the problem is making sure you have some small bills when standing out there...not embarrassing yourself and your SO.

It depends on establishment. Never tip below 3/5 bucks.
Was a valet for a fancy museum event one night in college. Of all the nice cars parked, a baller in a Ford Probe tipped me 10 dollars.

Like most said $3-5 is pretty standard. I work as a valet attendant and its one of the best jobs, money wise, a college kid can have IMO.
And we don't split tips so if you hustle you can make a really good amount of cash in one night.

I typically self park if possible, because I like easy, unlimited access to my vehicle...when it is necessary to valet, I usually give $5 every time I check out my vehicle...

Lunch time, $3-5.
Dinner if he parks it at the front of the restaurant, $10.
Eta: And I tip half when they take the car. Other half if it comes back undamaged.
