help! 

Have just taken delivery of a new car but need tow bar fitted next week, have contacted several people who advertise fitters in my area, Leicestershire, but unless we want to pay £700, getting nowhere. Any advice is appreciated - thanks

    If this is a brand new car I would 1st check with the garage you bought from to see if having one fitted by another tow bar company would affect your warranty with them. Bear in mind also that some (not all) insurance companies like to make a note/be informed of the tow bar addition.  Good luck.

    Depending on your car and the type of tow bar and ball and electrics you choose that might well be the going rate.

    £700. sounds about right to me. cost me £660 for mine 12 months ago. If it's a brand new car what's £700. What do you want to pay.
