What customers say
Fitting work our customers rate
Fitted rear sensors on my daughter’s 2008 VW Polo. Looks great, just like factory finish. Did the job within the time stated. Highly recommend.
Kanwal B. · Google review, August 2026
Did a lovely job with my standard tow bar and tow ball and twin electrics… I was worried that it might interfere with the reversing sensors, but they hid the electrics well, and the sensors are not aware there is a tow bar fitted, much to my relief. A job well done.

Common questions
Frequently asked
Which are the best aftermarket reverse sensors?
There are two designs of reversing sensors available. Firstly, there is the less expensive but more common mushroom design sensor where there is a slight protruding edge which sits proud of the bumper surface when mounted. The other is the OEM style sensors which are flush fitting and match the look of factory fitted, original sensors.
We fit the OEM style: Steelmate’s flush-fit PTS400EX (DP) OE, colour-matched to your car, with a 5-year Steelmate warranty.
Will the sensors match the colour of my car?
Yes. Every set we fit is colour-matched to your car’s bodywork, and the colour matching is included in the price.
How many sensors will there be?
Four at each end: four at the rear, four at the front, or eight if you have both.
Where will the parking sensors be positioned?
The sensors will usually fit to the same position as they would be if the car had parking sensors from new.
Do you fit front parking sensors?
Ken’s Autos can fit front parking sensors to most vehicles. Many vehicles can now be fitted with a special Canbus box which allows the sensors to come on and off automatically. If Canbus is not an option, the front sensors will be activated by a special switch which has to be fitted inside the car; when you want front sensors to assist in parking just flick the switch and feel the beeps.
How do automatic front parking sensors work?
A special box is wired into the vehicle’s Canbus circuit (Canbus is the name of the circuit that communicates to the vehicle’s computer or ECU). When the car speed is lower than 6mph and there is an obstruction in front, the sensors will automatically start to beep (shorter intervals as obstacles get closer). When the speed exceeds 6mph the sensors will not be active.
How much does it cost to have parking sensors fitted?
Rear parking sensors are £300, front £400, and front and rear £650, supplied, colour-matched and fitted, including VAT. The front prices include the Canbus module that switches the front sensors on by themselves. We confirm the price before we start.
What warranty do the parking sensors have?
Steelmate includes a 5-year warranty with the kit. Our fitting carries a 12-month guarantee.
How far away do parking sensors detect obstacles?
Steelmate gives 0.3 m to 1.5 m at the rear, and 0.3 m to 1.0 m at the front.
How long does parking sensor fitting take?
Allow about 2–3 hours. It depends on your car and whether you’re having front, rear or both, so we’ll confirm when you book.
Do you have to drill my bumper?
Yes, a small 16 mm hole for each sensor, placed where factory sensors would sit. The flush-fit sensor fills the hole and, colour-matched, looks factory-fitted.
