⚠️ What happens if you skip it? ⚠️
Improper hitch installation or using the wrong class can lead to unsafe towing, vehicle damage, or electrical failures. A professional install ensures your hitch is structurally sound, properly aligned, and ready for road use.
How This is Done
We install each hitch to exact specifications for strength, safety, and long-term durability.
1. Inspect Vehicle Mounting Points
Confirm compatibility and assess existing frame condition.
2. Position & Align Hitch
Fit precisely to vehicle chassis and check clearances.
3. Install Hardware & Torque Bolts
Use manufacturer torque specs for secure fastening.
4. Add Wiring (if needed)
Install trailer wiring harness for brake lights and signals.
5. Verify Fit & Function
Test all connections, load rating, and clearance.

“Roda was a great service. I hit a pothole and had a blow out. They came and picked the car up downtown, fixed it, and dropped it back at my house. I'll definitely check them out again.”
- DAVE W.Can you install a hitch I bought elsewhere?
Yes — we can install most factory or aftermarket hitches as long as they’re compatible with your vehicle.

Not usually — wiring is only needed for towing trailers with lights or brakes.
Can you install both the hitch and wiring at the same appointment?
Yes, we can complete both together to save you time.
Will this affect my vehicle warranty?
No — professional installation keeps your factory coverage intact.
