I need a tow hitch & electrics fitted to my Vauxhall Zafira.

Can anyone recommend a good place to get this done?

I'm located Bridgend.

Cheers

I'm certain Halfords can do this (Whether you'd want them to is ????)

Try Bank Farm Trailers on Brackla Ind Est. They were by far the best price for my Shogun towbar. Next best was Keanes in Aberkenfig.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I tried Bank Farm but they're so busy just now, couldn't do it for weeks! Must be good.

David, I do find Halfrauds convenient but sometimes woefully expensive. I went there yesterday to get some clay. Of course, they don't sell it in sticks, usually about £6, you have to buy a kit at £24.95!!! I left it on the shelf.

I'll try find a number for Keanes and give them a call.

Cheers

There used to be a Witter dealer bottom end of Penarth Road opp. Halfrauds that fitted towbars quite reasonable. Don't know if they are still there or cannot recall their name something trailers I believe

Geez, you're going back some!! They might still be there, I'll check if Keanes can't do it.

The number for Keens (I spelt it wrong), is 01656 722448.

Halfrauds have given me the worst service of ANY company I have used. Don't start me on why.

I had a towbar fitted by SGM and they are very competitive.
They fit towbars all day and work on a production line through their workshop.
There is a train station next door so you can go into Cardiff while you wait.

They seemed very nice people.

How long did it take to fit?

I drive to Towability in Taff Wells, I avoid SGM as I do not care for attitude.

Cheers,

I can only speak as I find.

I turned up at 8:30am SGM, 2 hours later collected the car.

Great job, great people caqn't fault them.

Hello Atomfun yes indeed i do, some of the AE Harris staff are still here like Steve Williams,Tony Farrel and Gerrald to name a few.I've never had a problem with SGM so can only coment favourably.
