Pre-Installation Preparation
Before the fitting day, ensure that you've provided us with accurate vehicle details. This helps them bring the correct towbar and electrical components tailored to your specific make and model. It's also a good idea to ensure that your vehicle is free of any peronal items and clear your driveway or parking space and to allow easy access for the fitter.

On the day of the fitting, the technician will arrive at the agreed time with all the necessary tools and components. They will first inspect your vehicle to confirm compatibility and check for any potential issues that might affect installation.

Mounting the Towbar: The fitter will securely attach the towbar to the vehicle's chassis using manufacturer-approved mounting points. Some bumpers will need to be removed for the installation.
Wiring and Electrics: The next step involves connecting the towbar electrics to your vehicle's wiring system, ensuring that the lights, indicators, and braking signals function correctly.
Testing: Once installation is complete, the technician will test the towbar and electrical connections to confirm everything is working safely and effectively.
Demonstration: The fitter will walk you through the towbar’s operation, providing guidance on how to attach and detach trailers or caravans properly.
Post-Installation Checks
After installation, you'll be advised to carry out regular checks, including:
Ensuring bolts and fittings remain tight.
Checking the electrical connections periodically.
