As well as trailer servicing and repairs, we also offer towbar fitting and vehicle coding services from our workshop at North Tawton.
Towbar Fitting
We use towbars from the likes of TowTrust, PCT, Witter, Westfalia and Brink, so you can be sure of a perfect fit. Whether it’s a fixed flange, a swan neck or a fully detachable towbar that you’re after, we will be able to help.
Towbar Wiring
We will always recommend fitting a dedicated wiring harness / vehicle specific kit (VSK) wherever possible. A vehicle specific wiring kit works with your van/car to activate functions depending on whether a trailer is attached. For example, when you plug in your trailer, things like parking sensors are disabled. The fog light on your car is also disabled, but enabled on the trailer! It will even alter things like your traction control and ABS braking, making towing safer.
Vehicle Coding
Due the complexity of modern vans and cars, most vehicles will now need “coding” after a towbar is fitted. Vehicle coding basically tells the vehicle that a towbar has been fitted, and to work with the new wiring harness. Once the towbar fitting is finished, we will carry out the coding process at no extra cost to you. For a small charge, we can carry out just the coding for towbars already installed. We use the latest SP Diagnostics “SDMAT” coding equipment. This enables us to work on pretty much any vehcile of any age!
Battery Support Unit
For added peace of mind, all towbar fitting and vehicle coding work is carried out with a battery support unit attached. The battery support unit provides the vehicle with a steady power supply, preventing any errors during the coding process. Once again, the latest SP Diagnostics battery support unit is used, working in tandem with the coding tool.
