Gaari Means Car. Car Reviews & Car News

I bought this item so I could easily move it out of the way when necessary and it wouldn’t sllip on the surface as I had read the drive-over bumpers would. For me the lights seem pointless since it sways when you bonk it, but that wouldn’t alter my reccomending it to others. It works as advertised and assembles quickly and easily.

I have a tight fitting garage. I have to park my riding lawnmower in front of my SUV. I need to pull up pretty close to the mower so that the garage door will come down without hitting the car.

The first things I tried were the tire stop parking mats. I wanted to be able to move them when I need to get the mower out, so I didn’t stick them to the floor with tape. They tended to slide around on the garage floor or be bumped by one of the kids while I was out. To make matters worse, I couldn’t really trust them because I couldn’t tell from the driver’s seat if they were positioned properly. Being off by 2-3 inches might mean hitting into the mower.

The Park n’ Place is really a simple solution. It sits right beside my mower. I can tell from the driver’s seat if the sign looks out of place as I am entering the garage. Just pull up until the sign moves a little. The sign is easily visible about the hoods of our Honda Pilot and Honda Odyssey. Also, I can easily move it out of the way each week to get the mower out.

The sign is supposed to flash lights when it gets bumped. I am rating it at 4 stars because the lights are unreliable. They may or may not flash depending on how hard you bump the pole. If your bumper just gently touches the pole, they may not light up, but a harder bump will set them off. It serves the purpose even without the lights. You can see the sign move and that is enough to know that you are in the right place.

So far, everything about this is great. Set up took all of 30 seconds. You choose the height. It comes with four 12-inch segments. I suppose you could use 2 if you have a sports car or all 4 if you have an SUV. For my car I only used 3. It works fantastic. In fact, it’s almost too sensitive. My only concern at this point is how long the little button cell batteries will last. The lights are LED, so the batteries should last a while as should the light bulbs themselves. While the LEDs are not replaceable, the batteries are. You can find these at many places costing anywhere from $20-$35. I got mine for $20 @ Bed Bath & Beyond before Xmas and was able to use one of their many 20% off coupons, so shop around.
