Price for tow bar fitting

Daveluck · 10th July 2017, 21:58

Hi,

Things are slightly different here in Spain. While I can buy a tow bar I cannot fit the tow bar as I am not registered as a tow bar fitter. Or rather I could fit it but it would be illegal.

I've just been given a quote for a bosal fixed hook, electrics with 13 pin socket and fitting for 390€. This includes having all the paperwork sorted as well.

Does that seem reasonable?

Every other car I have had has had the tow bar already fitted so I haven't a clue on price.

Cheers

Dave

Not knowing the price of the tow bar or what electrics is being proposed, this is a difficult one. I fitted a used Brink with detachable 50mm ball hook and made up my own electrics on a 13 pin. If your install were all new parts (Expected) I would say it is not far off bearing mind the legalities and paperwork that goes with it

Sounds about right.

I'm in France and that would be about the cost here too.

Thankyou for your responses. I'll get the car booked in.
