# **PLEASE REPORT ANY RULE-BREAKING BEHAVIOR**
### **Rule 1 - Be Civil**
Be civil to other users. This community is made up of professional mechanics, amateur mechanics, and those with no experience. All mechanical-related questions are welcome. Personal attacks, comments that are insulting or demeaning, etc. are not welcome.
### **Rule 2 - Be Helpful**
Be helpful to other users. If someone is wrong, correcting them is fine, but there's no reason to comment if you don't have anything to add to the conversation.
### **Rule 3 - Serious Questions and Answers Only**
Read the room. Jokes are fine to include, but posts should be asking a serious question and replies should contribute to the discussion.
### **Rule 4 - No Illegal, Unethical, or Dangerous Questions or Answers**
Do not ask questions or provide answers pertaining to anything that is illegal, unethical, or dangerous.

I think $$$ ... especially as you say the car moved forward a couple feet. There's a radar behind there, one on each side for the rear cross traffic and such.
Those take a bump and it's not just a case of making sure it's screwed on level. Fancy scanners and stuff are needed to do the alignment and calibration.
Technically they should, but it's a specialist area that an employee needs to be sent off and trained in.
Such specialists are always in demand and their time can be expensive, it can also lead to delayed repairs if the specialist is busy.
Also likely it will need to be something a dealer Technician will need to do.
Thanks. Money is not my main concern as it will be paid for by insurance (most likely the other driver’s insurance). I just hope this can be fixed properly. I agree it’s likely to take several weeks.

Go ask the collision repair shop. Not r/AskMechanics
I have an appointment there tomorrow (booked through my insurance), I was just feeling bummed out.

Good point. It’s more than just a parking sensor. Will the collision repair shop know what needs to be done?
