I’m thinking of installing the quick park sensors, but I have heard many different price among the people that have installed them ranging from $600 to $1100. In know there are some threads that discuss the quick park sensors in general, but I think the information on price is outdated and unclear.

Anyone has recently installed or quoted a quick park installation? Please share the info.
What’s a reasonable price for the system including painting the sensors to match the car?

I live in Chicago and my my dealer installed mine three weeks ago when my C300 lux came in for $465.00 total price. They look and work great.

i was told today that it was like 550ish plus installation

Well, The price of the part itself is $450 (+tax). This is even advertised on the MB webpage. The installation/painting cost is what varies from dealer to dealer.

$460 installed thats a really low price.

When I ordered the car several months ago I had the salesman write the total price of quick park into the purchased price, he wrote down what was in there book I assumed that included labor and when the car came in they stood by that price.

Bokx_350

you got free labor (about $400)

OK... I finally got a price for one of the dealers in the Boston area. I find this funny and offensive at the same time.

QuickPark part: $450
Five hours of labor at $125/hour: $625
Painting the sensors to match the car: $100 (estimate, they didn't confirm)
Taxes 5%: 59

Total: $1234

Any comments?

Can you say "aftermarket"?

P.S. If anyone knows a reliable audio/video shop or other where I could get an aftermarket parking kit installed in Massachusetts I would really appreciate the info.

Herb Chambers in Somerville quoted me around 800$

Thats where I bought my car. Not where I got the quote though because they didn't picked up the phone. The quote above is from Mercedes of Westwood. I will be calling Herb Chambers tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up, lets what they come up with.

Last fall I paid about $820 for mine including labor.

It's disgusting that the "gods" won't let us get the "Partronic" system or at least offer "Quick Park" as a factory installed item rather than having us pay a ridiculous price to have the dealer do the installation.

Bokx_350

OK, i got the quote from Herb Chambers. $1100 + Painting (around $100).
How did you get the dealer to lower your price.

Aosman, would you mind getting that $800 quote for me?

aosman

I got the quote when I was placing the order for my C350. They quoted me 'around $800' (give or take $50) but I still have not gone through with it since I don't have the car yet. I'll try to get a hold of the salesperson I dealt with.

Can someone post some pictures of the QuickPark installed on their C300? I want to know if the sensors are installed as a strip across the bumper or individually on the bumper like the BMW.

Bokx_350

There are other posts that have several pictures of the quickpark. Like this one titled "Photo of quickpark sensors" https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w204/219015-photo-quick-park-sensors.html

Lets just discuss the price of the sensors here please.

parts are cheap!
but 6 hrs to install just the rear???
dang, steve installed front & rear PTS in 6 hrs on mine...

I got a labor quote from a luxury-only audio video shop for $350.
Now my question is, should I buy the Quickpark at the dealer for $450 or should I go with one of those $50 ebay ones? Is is worth the extra $$ for the OEM? I appreciate your suggestions

Bokx_350

Any suggestions?

i'm debating on this too.
i just can not justify $450 on simple sensors.
there is nothing fancy about it. just 4 sensors + small speaker tap it onto reverse light.

This is a question for chief p. I live in the chicago area too...I am wondering what dealership you had the parktronic system put in.

weehyung87

Hey guys, if you install quick park, does it ony beep in sound or have something that show in coulour insdie the car showing there is a obstacle behind the car?

If anyonehs couple of photos, please post it here. thanks..

misterng

I got mine for about $800 as well.

Bokx_350

quickpark is not the same as parktronic. quickpark only has a sound alert, no visual signal at all.

weehyung87

I live out in Vancouver and actually went to my MB dealership today to find out about quick park.

The guys in the part services told me:
1) $535 for the quick park itself.
2) $250 for labour charges.
3) $250-300 for painting.

Both the labour charges and the paiting was a rough estimate but I'm looking at least $1000.

You think it's worth it guys?

And Bokx 350..thanks for the reply!
