Professional Towbar Fitting & Coding

We provide professional towbar installation in the Midlands from our fully equipped workshop near Nuneaton. We supply and fit towbars for the majority of vehicles, including full vehicle-specific wiring, coding and programming where required.

All towbars are installed with correct integration into the vehicle’s electrical system to ensure safety, reliability and full functionality. Our installations are suitable for caravans, trailers, bike racks and commercial towing applications.

Professional Towbar Fitting & Electrical Integration & Coding

Modern vehicles require proper electronic integration when fitting a towbar. We install vehicle-specific wiring kits that communicate directly with the vehicle’s CAN system, allowing safe and compliant operation. We do not use universal bypass relays that simply tap into rear light wiring. We refuse to fit these systems, as they do not provide correct integration or trailer recognition.

We Do Not Use Bypass Relays

We do not use universal bypass relays that simply tap into rear light wiring. We will refuse to fit these systems. Instead, we install vehicle-specific wiring kits that communicate correctly with the vehicle’s CAN system. This allows:
  • Proper trailer recognition
  • Bulb failure monitoring
  • Activation of trailer stability control systems
  • Automatic parking sensor deactivation when towing
  • Dashboard trailer warnings where applicable
This ensures safe and compliant towbar installation.

Towbar Types We Install

We supply and fit all major towbar types depending on your vehicle and intended use.
  • Detachable towbars (most popular option)
  • Fixed flange towbars
  • Fixed swan neck towbars
  • Retractable / electric folding towbars (vehicle dependent)
Detachable towbars are currently the most requested option, offering a clean appearance when not in use while maintaining full towing capability.

Towbar Electrics, Coding & Programming

Modern vehicles require proper electronic integration. Where required, we:
  • Code the towbar module into the vehicle
  • Activate trailer stability functions
  • Enable parking sensor auto-deactivation when towing
  • Ensure dashboard trailer monitoring
  • Calibrate vehicle systems if necessary
All installations are tested using MOT-compliant trailer testing equipment to verify lighting and electrical performance.

We work with trusted towbar and electrical manufacturers and only install products we know to be reliable. While we can source most brands, we stick to systems with proven long-term durability and proper vehicle compatibility. Where required, we supply all necessary additional components including:
  • Vehicle-specific wiring kits
  • Control modules
  • Bumper supports or reinforcement bars
  • Replacement trims and fittings
No corners are cut during installation.
