I came down with MS several years ago and I had a hard time determining how close I was to the wall when parking in my garage. This product has completely aided me and I rate it very high to others that see it.

It helps my husband park his truck in the garage perfectly every time! He loves it! It's MUCH better than the primitive "x" on the side wall he was using before. I'm no handy man, it I installed it and set it up without a problem.

I bought this for my husband to install in our garage. I had a tendency to keep bumping things at the front of the garage with the nose of my car. This device allows me to stop in an exact spot every time.

I love this product. It works every time I pull in the garage, perfectly. I've tried tennis balls hanging from the ceiling, I've tried tape on the floor of my garage in order to park correctly and this is the best!

Describe Yourself:

High-End Shopper, Practical

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The installation and setup was flawless. It has kept my wife from driving through the garage wall or closing the garage door on the back of the car. It helps her stop at just the right spot every time. It works as advertised. We purchased a new car and she could wait to re-adjust it so her new car was in the "right place" again.
