Default Fender Bender = Parking Sensors Don't Work

So, after an unfortunate fender bender (really more of a love tap...) with minimal to no paint damage on either car, my parking sensors are inoperable with double red lights in both front and back...
I'm curious who else has had a similar event, and what the costs were? I know it's probably impossible to estimate without a full diagnosis by the shop, but just trying to get an idea of what I'll be walking into...

Thanks in advance...

i would guess that the cables popped off one of the sensors. they all must work

Thats pretty common actually. The sensors are pretty sensitive and almost never function completely right after an accident. If you want the least amount of head ache you'll want the body shop to replace all of the sensors... if you take the car to a dealership and they find out the car has been in an accident theres a slim chance they will cover the sensors under warrenty.
