Unethical business practices.....
"BenignVanilla" wrote in message ... "John Hines" wrote in message ... snip Just go get one, at a local place that also installs them. Unless your really mechanical, don't risk your life. Don't forget that you'll need to have an electrical hook up for the trailer lights. The place by me is a small shop, selling nothing but hitches, for over 20 years, I got one installed on my car as a teen so I could haul stuff for the family vacation. I have a friend that will professionally install it for me, but I need to buy it first. I will probably never tow anything with it. I just want to put one of those shelves on the back for camping. I can't find a local hitch place. Any thoughts on how to find one? Two options. First, many U-Haul places sell and install hitches. I've used them and don't think you can beat the price by much. The installation was not a major part of the cost either, and they did a very professional job, using real wiring harnesses rather than just splicing in to tail-light wires. Second, hitches are one of those things that the vast majority of car dealers just won't do themselves. If you have a hitch installed by a dealer, they actually farm it out to an independent installer (and charge your for this "service" ;^). However, I have found that they will usually tell you who they use and many times the installer will give you the "dealer cost" if you mention that is how you found them. Aaron |
