Editorial Reviews:

Amazon.com Product Review
Automobiles can do a lot of damage to garage walls if parked incorrectly. And, garage doors can do a lot of damage to cars if they come down on top of them. Racor's parking guide helps you park perfectly every time so none of these things happen. The guide works with all types of cars and trucks. With only one mat needed per vehicle, wheels drop into place so that you're sure that you've driven far enough into your garage to clear the automatic door. Simply set the guide on the floor exactly where you want your front tires to stop. A unique tongue design makes it so the car's weight holds the guide in place. Drive over the first hump and you'll know it's time to stop when the tire comes to rest on the second. Made of heavy-duty polypropylene for durability and easy cleaning, the device ensures years of reliable parking guidance. --Brian D. Olson

1 out of 5 stars A Very Poor Product   January 10, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This is a very poor version of this type product. I purchased two online after my local home improvement stores stopped carrying a different version. The ones in the store were heavy, this one is light as a feather, which is why it will not stay in place. I have tried heavy duty two sided tape, heavy duty glue, and duct tape, and nothing will work.

I regret buying this thing. Unless you drive into your garage very precisely, you're going to miss it, because it's far too narrow. Maybe if you buy three or four and tape them side by side, they will work more reliably, but it would be cheaper to use an alternative that is not as sensitive to your car's left and right position.

This works best if you have a very narrow space in your garage and always end up in the same spot, but otherwise forget it.



4 out of 5 stars basic but rather effective   January 26, 2007
 2 out of 4 found this review helpful

we've had this product probably for 24 months now. it's as basic as it gets & works well. i'm not sure why the other folks seem to have problems with the product moving. i find if you pull in straight, it works perfectly. the only time it might move, and this has been quite rare in my experience, is when you pull in & as you drive on to the parking guide/mat, you turn the wheel----------the end result here is that the mat does move (duh....). by & large, this product is ingenious in its simplicity & effective in daily usage. it sure beats those who nail or screw 2x4s into their garage floor. we routinely move ours to sweep or vacuum the garage floor.


3 out of 5 stars Easy to Use but...   March 2, 2006
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I just bought the parking guide one month ago. It's very easy to use, you just basically put it on the location where you want the car to stop, however... the bottom of the parking guide has no traction what-so-ever, so if your garage floor is smooth, chances are when ur car drives over the guide, it will cause the guide to move forward too...:( I had to buy one of those traction pad for shoes to stick on the bottom of the parking guide to prevent it from moving :)


4 out of 5 stars Racor Parking Gude   February 23, 2006
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Was looking for way to park our cars in a garage that is tight for space. Thought of hanging a tennis ball from the ceiling, but found in the past that my head hit the ball more often than the windshield of the car.

The Racor Parking Guide provides a simple solution.

11/19/2006 Since having these for some time, found that the problem of sliding around the garage floor is a major pain.. back to the tennis ball
