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!

Peter

From beginning to end I found Five Star Towbars customer focused, knowledgeable and friendly. I told them what I needed the new towbar for and they recommended a type to suit my needs. They set a time for installation at my home address and arrived exactly on time as promised. They completed a professional installation at what I considered to be a reasonable price. Never having installed a tow bar before I can't compare their service with others, but I would be very happy to use their services again.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Peter! We are delighted to hear that you had a positive experience with our knowledgeable and friendly team. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we look forward to assisting you again in the future!

Called up last minute to get a redarc system installed on my PX2 Ford Ranger. Spoke to Luke, he was informative and answered all the questions I had promptly. At around 4PM, I was able to confirm a booking for the following day where someone was able to come to my home to install a RedArc TowPro system; paid over the phone by card and was emailed an invoice shortly after.

Thoroughly happy with the service provided, and will be recommending to any friends in the future.

Super quick install, great communication and wonderful flexibility!

Ryan did a fantastic job installing a BTA towbar on my 2018 VW Tiguan. Everything was easy from getting a quote to organising a time for installation. And, of course, they come to you so it's sooooo much easier than having to drop your car off, get a lift back home, and return when it's done.

Response from the owner:Thanks for the review Richard! We are glad that you are happy with our service!

The guys from Five Star installations have done a fantastic job fitting a towbar on my car. Booking it in was easy, they came to my house and had it all done within 90 minutes, and I’m very happy with the result.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone. Thanks Luke and team.

Trailer Repair and Maintenance FAQs

What are common signs that my trailer needs repairs?

Common signs that your trailer may need repairs include:

Leaks from various parts of the trailer, possibly due to problems with seals, gaskets, or corrosion.
The trailer pulling to one side or swerving, which may suggest wheel or suspension issues.
Reduced vehicle mileage, possibly due to tire or suspension problems.
Broken lights, particularly emergency or brake lights, which can lead to safety hazards and legal issues.

How often should I service my trailer?

It is generally recommended to service your trailer every six months to ensure it remains in good condition and safe to use. Regular maintenance tasks include checking tire pressure, replacing light bulbs, lubricating moving parts, and inspecting the trailer for wear and tear.

How long does a typical trailer repair take?

The duration of a trailer repair can vary depending on the complexity of the issue. Simple repairs, such as replacing a light bulb or fixing a minor leak, may take a few hours. More extensive repairs, like fixing suspension or brake issues, could take longer, potentially a day or more, depending on the availability of parts and the workload of the repair shop.
