Everytime the weather is nice, we go camping.
We now have a dog, so there is not enough room in our Saxo for everything. How much would it cost me to have a towing bracket fitted just so i can pull a trailer? (Not a caravan)
and who would be the best people to do it?

Try towsure in hillsborough

they have a website, it is probably www.towsure.com at a guess

Thankyou Skatiechik.
You got the right site. It would be £90 (not fitted) at Towsure, thats why i would like anyone who could reccomend others. Thank you anyway Katie

CCC near Bramhall Lane do towbars/fitting but I reckon they may be dearer than Towsure

I found a little back street garage that fitted a tow bar that I supplied. The towbar came from a breakers yard for £10 and I was charged £30 to have it fitted. The garage unfortunately no longer exists but there must be plenty of places around that would do the same.

There's a place just off the roundabout up from the Nick at west bars, if you go as if you were going to the Uni keeping the nick on your right then turn right at the roundabout the place is just up that road on the right hand side . Sorry I can't remember the name, but they did a good cheap job for me.

That is an excellent idea, I had never thought of that :thumbsup:

look in yellow pages,there are quite a few MOBILE fitters, they might be cheaper, we had one fitted a few years ago and they were half the price towsure quoted us.
cant remember which one we used now but its worth checkin a few out.

I had two bars fitted at this place over the years, cheapest in the city. They make the bars themselves and sell them to other fitters across the country. They may be called 'A1' and the name of the road is probably garden st.

yes i would also suggest using yellow pages and ringing round to get the best price as they can vary so much , i found jena towbars was the cheapest they fitted 1 for me and came to my house to do it you will find the number in yellow pages its a freephone number i think mine cost about £ 70 supplied and fitted .
