Mobile towbar fitting in Leicester
Reviewed by an experienced Leicester towbar fitter Last updated
Mobile towbar fitting means a fitter comes to your home or workplace and installs the towbar on your driveway, so you do not have to visit a workshop. Across Leicester and Leicestershire it usually costs £30 to £50 more than a workshop fit, and the quality is exactly the same, because it is the same job done in your driveway. All you need is a level, hard-standing space and access to power.
What mobile fitting involves
A mobile fitter arrives with everything needed: the towbar and electrics, a dedicated wiring kit, the tools, and the diagnostic equipment to code your car if it needs it. Most fits take between 1.5 and 4 hours depending on the vehicle, and coding is done there and then on your drive.
What you need to provide
- A level, hard-standing surface such as a driveway or car park
- Access to a power socket for the diagnostic and coding equipment
- The area under the rear of the car reasonably clean
That is it. If you can park it and plug in an extension lead, a mobile fitter can work on it.
Fitter's tip
The quality is exactly the same as a workshop fit: it is the same job, the same equipment and the same coding, done on your driveway.
Who mobile fitting suits
Mobile fitting is ideal if you cannot easily get to a workshop in working hours, if you would rather not lose half a day, or if you want the job done at work while you are inside. Many fitters also offer evening and weekend slots.
