Why it’s important to have a professional install your towbar

Many people buy a towbar assuming that fitting it to the back of their car or truck will be a quick and easy task, but that’s not necessarily the case – and we’re sure that you don’t want to risk losing your trailer or caravan on a busy Melbourne highway because you opted for a DIY towbar fitting instead of getting a trained, professional installer. There are factors to consider that a Do It Yourselfer might not get quite right or just overlook completely. For example, removal and reinstallation of rear bumper bar and car interior to access mount points and wiring points. Also ensuring the wiring is done correctly, as the cars are becoming more electronically advanced, and so must the trailer wiring systems. This includes installing ECM/ECU control modules to make car lighting system independent of trailer lighting system. However, when you call on FiveStar Towbars to take care of your tow bar installation, we provide you with the complete package and peace of mind.

George Millington-Palmer
Absolutely incredible work from these guys, they saved by butt! I called up with a niche imported car that most other places declined to even consider if they had a compatible solution. These guys asked me to send through some photos, discussed some measurements, and organised a super quick installation at a very reasonable price. Can't recommend them enough! :) thank you!
Response from the owner:Thanks so much for the awesome review George! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It was a pleasure helping you out with your import, and we’re thrilled to hear you’re happy with the result. We love a challenge, and it’s great when everything comes together smoothly. Thanks again for choosing us — we’re always here if you need anything in the future!

Brett Johnson
Had a BTA towbar installed on a new CX5 about a month ago.

Installers were arrived on time and were polite and efficient. They demonstrated that wiring harness was functional and also disabled the auto reverse braking and sensors when the job was done.

It would have been nice if they plugged the dashcam fuse taps back in when done but that’s not worth knocking a star off.
Response from the owner:Hey Brett Thanks for the review. Apologies for the Dashcam plug, will mention to our guys to avoid in the future.
Gerry Camilleri
Found this company on line.They came to us,which was great.They were for professional and very neat.Overall very satisfied with the service that was provided.Thanks Mark
Response from the owner:Thanks Gerry. Will pass this onto Mark!
Mitch Clark
I've had 5 Star Tow Bars fit a towbar and electric brakes on two cars now and I wouldn't use anyone else. They are extremely easy to deal with, arrived when they said they would and kept me updated once job was complete (I wasn't home). I would have no hesitation reccomending them to anyone. Great service.
Response from the owner:Thanks for the great review Mitch! We are glad you choose us for your latest vehicle to be fitted out 🌞 Happy travels!

Just had a towbar installed by Ryan from Five Star Towbars and couldn't be happier. From start to finish, the service was top-notch. Ryan was exceptionally professional, completed the installation remarkably fast, and patiently addressed every question I had. And for an added touch of awesome, he had AC/DC rockin' the whole time! Fantastic work!
Response from the owner:Hi Nati, Who doesn't like the best rock band in the history of the universe! Hopefully you're not on a highway to hell next time you hit the road 😆 Thanks a bunch!

Paul Dixon
Had Euro towbar on order, pleasantly surprised to find it arrived in stock a month early. Fitting crew arrived on day organised and were very professional and thorough in fitting bar. All cutouts in bar were accurate and perfectly fitted the bar. Only hiccup was Euro bars required slightly smaller shackles. Was able to sort these locally from Repco and was quickly reimbursed by Luke from five star without any hassle. Very happy with bar and professional fitting of it. No hesitation of highly recommending Luke and his company. An absolute pleasure to deal with.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Paul! We're thrilled to hear that your Euro towbar arrived earlier than expected and that our fitting crew provided professional service. We appreciate your understanding regarding the shackle situation and are glad that we could resolve it quickly for you. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we’re delighted to have had the opportunity to serve you. Looking forward to assisting you again in the future!
James Wolstenholme
Luke and his team were very accommodating and installed a tow controller at very short notice. It was very much appreciated as my camping trip (and perhaps my marriage) were at risk without their help! Highly recommended.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your fantastic review, James! We're glad to hear that Luke and the team were able to assist you in a pinch and help make your camping trip a success. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to serving you again in the future. Safe travels and happy camping!

Alison Keenan
I had the guys from 5 Star Towbars install a towbar and a bike rack on my VW today and I could not be happier with the product and service. They were easy to deal with, provided clear instructions for how to use the tow bar and bike rack and as a bonus they came to me at work to complete the job! Their pricing was also well below 2 other quotes I had received. Well done and thank-you : )
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Alison! We're delighted to hear that you were happy with both the product and our service. It’s great to know that our team was able to meet you at work and provide clear instructions. We appreciate your business and are glad we could offer competitive pricing as well. Thank you for choosing 5 Star Towbars!

FAQs

Towbar Installation FAQs

What does the tow bar supply and installation service include?

All of our onsite or in store tow bar installation comes with everything you need to tow as soon as the job is finished, including tow ball, rated shackles and suitable wiring harness to your specified trailer connection.

What is the maximum towing capacity for my car?

The maximum tow rating can usually be found in your vehicle’s handbook. Tow bar compliance stickers which state maximum towing capacity and maximum ball weight capacity are also installed to the inside of the driver’s door and onto the towbar of every vehicle we install. Generally towbar manufacturers construct the towbar to the maximum capacities that are stated by the vehicle manufacturer, although in some cases “light duty” towbars that are under the vehicle towing capacities may also be available from some manufacturers.

Can I fit a towbar to any car?

Not all cars can accommodate a towbar. The ability to fit a towbar depends on the vehicle’s make, model, and design. Some vehicles may require modifications or specific types of towbars to ensure compatibility. It is essential to consult with a professional to assess your vehicle’s suitability for a towbar installation.

Can the towing hitch/tow ball be left attached when not being used?

The towbar and attachments can be on the vehicle when not in use so long as the rear number plate is not obstructed from view.

Will a tow bar installation void my vehicle manufacturer warranty?

If the part is not genuine but is interchangeable with the genuine part and is ADR Approved, it is deemed appropriate for the purpose and would therefore not void your manufacturer’s warranty. If your vehicle dealer tells you otherwise we suggest asking for it in writing. See link attached for details from AAAA (Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association).
