Parking Sensors – Hassocks

Station Garage provides parking sensor repairs at our workshop in Hassocks.

Modern parking sensor systems integrate ultrasonics, proximity cameras and radar – with all parts of the system in constant communication, so understanding and having extensive knowledge of the architecture are key. Here at Station Garage, we have that knowledge and understanding, and our workshop is fully equipped with the diagnostic tools that are needed to investigate issues with factory-fitted parking sensor systems and to carry out the appropriate repairs.

With parking spaces at a premium and often designed for the smaller cars from decades past, any assistance that we can get to make parking easier is very welcome and we all feel the benefit of having parking sensors on our cars. So, when something goes wrong with your parking sensors, it can be quite stressful, especially when you’re trying to park in crowded or tricky environments.

What can go wrong with parking sensors?

Over time, parking sensors may malfunction due to dirt, debris, or damage to the sensors. This can cause false alerts or failure to detect obstacles. To avoid this happening, make sure that you clean the sensors regularly, and if the problem persists, get in touch with our team at Station Garage.

Because parking sensors are connected to your vehicle’s electrical system, wiring faults or loose connections can lead to issues such as random beeping or a complete system failure. In this case, give us a call and we can carry out a diagnostic check to trace the source of the fault and get it sorted for you.

Occasionally, sensors can actually be too sensitive, sensing things such as rain, leaves, or little bumps in the road and then alerting you unnecessarily. In some vehicles, we can adjust the sensitivity of the sensors to prevent false alerts.

Sensors may struggle to detect objects properly in extreme weather conditions. The only thing you can do in this situation is to keep the sensors clean and clear of snow as much as you can.

Can parking sensors be fixed?

Yes, at Station Garage, they can. Our team have all the necessary diagnostic tools to pinpoint the source of any issues and can then get them sorted for you, allowing you to park with confidence once again.
