Towbar fitting - recommendations please

[Simon D]

Hi,

 

I'm looking to get a towbar fitted to my Yeti for towing a trailer, so only need 7 pin electrics.

Can anyone recommend a supplier and fitter in the South West / South Wales area?

 

Thanks

Both my towbars were fitted by an independent recommended by Platinum Skoda, Bath.

I have a business card somewhere but cannot find it at the moment.

Previously all my car towbars had been fitted by Notton in Kingswood, Bristol.

Thanks for the advice, Gumdrop and Llanigraham.

 

We've just come back from West Wales Towing Centre in Haverfordwest, where we had a Westfalia removable towbar and 7 pin electrics fitted, including coding to the car's systems, a swivelling socket, a bumper aperture cover plate, bag, gloves, etc. for £475 inc VAT.  (Sinclair Skoda quoted £750).

 

Excellent service, including drop off / collection in the town centre.  The work was all done in about 2 1/2 hours.

 

Happy days.

Thank you Simon for that post.  And as a result I'll now second that recommendation for West Wales Towing.  Just had a fixed flange towbar with 7 pin electrics fitted to my Yeti with all necessary coding.  Jamie (the boss?) and one other worked on it and had it done in a little over one and a half hours while I went for a wander.  Very pleasant, knowledgeable and efficient.  Total cost £325 inc everything.  And John Morgan Autoparts - who are all of 100 yards away - will make up a number plate while you wait for £10.50.  (Halfords charge £16.)  All very good!
