Towbars are attached to the rear of your vehicle, beneath the bumper. It is not as simple as purchasing any towbar, mounting it wherever you believe it should be attached, and driving away.
It’s essential to find the appropriate towbar, a trustworthy fitting business, and a fitter who will precisely follow step-by-step instructions on how to install it.
When the car is mounted, fitting is significantly easier. This is only one of the many reasons why the work should be done in a garage or by a mobile fitter with the necessary tools. It also takes a few hours, so make sure the mounting places are conveniently accessible during the fitting process.
Towbar fitting requires the removal of car parts as well as the making of cuts, drilling holes, and other modifications to your vehicle. It also necessitates some intricate electrical work. With this in mind,
it is critical that towbars are always installed by professionals towbar fitters.

How to fit towbars?
Modern cars are extremely difficult to fit a towbar to because they have sophisticated electrical systems, making it difficult if you don’t know what you’re doing.
We literally fit thousands of towbars a year so we know all the fitting guidelines from the major brand of towbars. This is also the case for towbars for specific make and model of cars.
We Prepare the car
To access the mounting holes in the chassis, you may need to remove the rear bumper and possibly the exhaust, although this is entirely dependant on the vehicle you’re working on. You should also keep in mind that some vehicles require a bumper cut in order for the towbar to fit properly.
We take off the rubber coverings and wipe the surfaces
After we’ve removed the bumper and made any necessary bumper cuts, we make sure all surfaces are clean and all rubber covers have been removed. The brackets must then be bolted into the bolt holes, and the main crossbar must be installed to the fitting brackets.
Attaching the main crossbar
Installing the crossbar will be different for each car because the bolt holes will be in different positions. When all of the bolts are in place, we tighten them with a torque wrench and seal the seams to prevent water from seeping in.
Securing the towball housing
If we are fitting a detachable style, we attach the housing close to the towball’s substructure.
Replacing the bumper and the towball
Once the towball is in place we use the torque wrench to tighten it up to the proper tightness. After reinstalling the bumper, the towball is usually the last step.
