Towbars

The electrical systems on modern cars are becoming ever-more complex, requiring the expertise of an auto-electrician when connecting towbar electrics. We deal directly with every major towbar manufacturer. This means that not only can we supply and fit a wide range of high quality towbars to suit all needs and purposes, we can also offer the customer support that you expect. All of the towbars that we fit are mounted to the fixing points as specified by the car manufacturer, and are Type Approved where appropriate.

We are not tied to any one make of towbar, so unless you want to specify a particular make of towbar, we will look at each job individually and find the neatest fitting towbar for your car. We fit hundreds of towbars a year so we know which towbars are the best for each vehicle.
