Calibrate Parking Sensors

Hit my back bumper sooo slightly, and apparently angered my parking sensor. Options were to go to dealer and pay north of $1000 to get it fixed or find alternate options.

From what I saw, no alternate options but I took a shot on a automotive "Calibration Shop." Pleasantly surprised, they scanned it, told me which sensor bit the dust and told me which to get. Went to the dealer, spent 240 on it, took back and they charged me a very pleasant price and got me calibrated within 20 min.

Best outcome from a crappy situation ever and I kept my money out of dealer hands.

 

Uh, you paid the "dealer" $240

 

Vendor posting? Slow day at automotive "Calibration Shop"?

 

Yes, @eurowner, I paid 240 for a factory parking sensor because the knockoff ones on Amazon will malfunction after a few weeks if you can get ever get them calibrated.

 

@Barsoom, If I was a vendor I would cite a shop name I got it done at. No big, fyi it costs 4 hours dealer shop time to calibrate the sensors, so that is a $1000. Add 240 for the part, plus addl time for install, looking at 1500 to remedy a slight bump on a retaining wall. But hey, you do you, just trying to pass along the savings to some of us.

Cant say why my name changed to hachi though, just reset my password…??

 

It is a beautiful movie.
