Why drivers choose professional towbar fitting 🚗

Choosing the right towbar depends on how often you tow, what you tow (caravan, trailer, bike rack), and whether you want a visible towball year-round. A poorly fitted towbar can affect parking sensors, ADAS and manufacturer warranty.

At CBS Automotive we fit Witter, Westfalia and Tow-Trust towbars with dedicated electrics — not universal bypass kits that can cause fault lights or sensor issues on modern vehicles.

Towbar + electrics — what is included? 📊

A professional towbar fit includes the bar, mounting hardware, and dedicated towing electrics (7-pin or 13-pin). Many modern cars also need vehicle coding so the car recognises a trailer — we handle this in our workshop. Pair with reversing cameras for safer towing.

Popular combinations we fit in one visit:

✅ Towbar + 13-pin electrics — caravan-ready wiring

✅ Parking sensors — front or rear retrofit

✅ Dash cam — front & rear for towing peace of mind (read our dash cam guide)

Bundling reduces repeat visits — ask us for a combined quote when you book online.

Also popular with towbar customers 📈

Many customers add Ghost immobiliser for security, heated seats for comfort, or cruise control retrofit for long towing journeys.

We serve Cambridge and surrounding areas including Ely, Histon, Milton, Waterbeach, Newmarket and Royston.

✅ Caravans & camping — 13-pin electrics for fridge and charging

✅ Bike racks & trailers — detachable towbars for a clean look

✅ Commercial fleets — van towbars with warranty-safe fitting

Why professional fitting matters ✍️

Towbar electrics on modern cars must be vehicle-specific — incorrect wiring triggers dashboard warnings, disables parking aids, or voids warranty. Our technicians complete most towbar fits in 2–4 hours with full handover and demonstration.
