These guys are great. Got a tow hitch installed for a bike rack on my highlander. They charged 1/4 of what Toyota would have charged and 1/2 of what Rack Attack quoted. read more

Don't go anywhere else! Brian and Trevor did an amazing job on my tow hitch / bike rack receiver. I have a very complicated fascia under my bumper on my precious SUV and was concerned what the cuts might look like. I shouldn't have been. These guys are master craftsmen and it looks better than if the factory had done it. Don't waste your time. Go here. And send all your friends. You will be very happy you did! read more

Located off Sherman Way in Reseda. I've been to their other location in West LA and had work done there but unfortunately they closed that location. So I called and ask some questions and got a quote to get a bike hitch installed on my car. They had my info already in their system from the other location. So I set up my appointment and when I got there they started working on it. They do get busy at times and you would have to wait but luckily they weren't busy at the time I was there. Both of the guys there were great and helpful. They have an area where you can sit and wait. Overall a great place for your hitch needs. They know their job well. I recommend them. read more

Took me a year but I finally got hitched! I bought a New Ford Bronco Sport last year but Ford was all out of tow hitches. I heard about Eckharts but kept putting it off until today. I called the Mission Hills location this morning and was told that they would not be able to do it until later this week. They referred me to the Reseda location. In short, I called the Reseda shop, dropped off my vehicle and picked my vehicle up about two hours later. The install was clean. Pricing was reasonable. Customer service was outstanding. Wish I would've done it sooner but better late than never. Thank you Eckharts! read more

Getting a trailer hitch installed on my VW ID4 was super easy with these guys. Their price was competitive, they were responsive and easy to work with over the phone and knocked out the work in 90 minutes. I couldn't be happier at how easy this was and how good it looks. read more

On time looks good Still holding up aftet 7 months thats a good thing Price as quoted read more

Fast, professional and friendly are the gentlemen that work at Eckharts at this location. It was a show watching the installation of my trailer hitch as it was what seemed like a choreographed performance of measuring, cutting, grinding, welding and painting to watch (if you are into this sort of thing) otherwise you can just sit and relax in their air conditioned waiting room and wait until your vehicle is done. It was super efficient the way they went about their work and I was done in no time and on my way. Professional installation and would recommend this facility if you are in need of this type of service. read more

I had a very good experience working with Brian and his team getting a hitch installed in our 2023 chrysler pacifica sport. This van is an adaptive van with a side entry ramp by Braun Mobility so the install was more complicated than Eckharts let on. They were ready for me right at my appointment time and quickly got to work. It took hours instead of days like everyone else quoted. Also the price is unbeatable especially considering the expertise compared to a standard dealer service center. If i ever add a hitch in to future vehicles so was always taken here. read more

Great service employees are very helpful. My van needed a new hitch and they really stuck to their promises.

Thanks to Eckhart Welding, I arrived a little before my appointment time. Trevor greeted me and explained the work that needed to b done. He also explained the different electrical brake modules that were available. All work was done efficiently and at a fair price Trevor is an asset to the Co Hutch read more

I've had 3 trailer hitches installed by these guys. They are pretty quick, have a lot of availability and the prices are fair. It's a small shop but I think they've been there for awhile and the quality of work is superior. read more

This place has been there a long time. A friend had some work there and was very happy. I stopped in to see what parts they had and to ask a bunch of questions . They let m elook around and answered ALL of my questions. There are not that Many places that have the knowledge to repair or install hitches. read more

Can't say enough great things about these guys! I needed to rent a U-Haul to get back to Texas ASAP and I found out I needed a trailer hitch. U-Haul was not able to help since their schedule was full, but Eckhart Trailer Hitches in Reseda was so accommodating and squeezed me into their Saturday schedule. The guys were so friendly, professional, genuinely happy and so helpful. If you need a trailer hitch, this is THE place to go. Wish I could give them 10 stars!!! read more

They did such a fabulous job that I actually used the word, "fabulous". I want to say, simply, WOW, and then end it because I am so impressed with everything about the company and them. Knowledgeable... my G-d. So, so knowledgeable. So perfect and so fast, too I am. It looks amazing, bad ass, yet usually, tow hitch receivers are Fugly. That stands for FUCKIN UGLY. I know you knew that, but I'm nothing if not watching for a reaction. Even if I cannot physically see it, I know I get you everytime. And, it's to live for. Thank you for still thinking of me as taboo within this jaded and numb society. The people of the internet know me best. Back to them- I recommend you go no where else unless you want to spend more money and leave your shit. For DAYZ. Then, it'll be ugly, too. Enough said? Learn the easy way! Don't be a stupid ass. read more

Be careful when they spray the hitch before installation that overspray doesn't get all over your vehicle

They provided excellent customer service Brian was really helpful on the phone and in person It feels great to tow my trailer knowing everything works safety is really important thank you guys thanks for the good work read more

Got a hitch put on my Toyota Rav 4 for a bike mount. They were incredible. Scheduled us for two days later, dropped the car off around 9am, picked it up around 1pm, and the hitch works beautifully! Everyone who works there was very kind and knowledgeable and I would definitely recommend them to others in the future. read more

I needed a brush guard custom mounted on my 2005 Mitsubishi Montero. The brush guard was not designed for my car. They welded 4" cross bar to the brush guard and custom mounted on to my front tow hooks. They painted the new bar and all the welds and bolted it securely to where it feels permanent. It came out fantastic. The attention to detail and professional approach was spot on. Add to that a well organized and clean shop and they should get 6 stars if I could. read more

I needed a hitch installed on my 2014 Dodge Charger RT on a very short time frame(2 days-I know). I called various places around LA & they had a 2-3 week wait. I called Eckharts to get a quote from them and they were able to fit me in the next morning! I was blown away! Very friendly & professional environment when I got there. They gave me a 4 hour time frame & we're done in 3 hours!! Huge plus!! They recommended to cut through my bumper trim so my hitch wouldn't drag. The end result was amazing!!!!! Truly recommend them!!!!! Their prices are worth it!! The quality of their work is impeccable! I went ahead and got lifetime warranty & a hitch lock as well. If your looking for a place to get a hitch, Eckharts is your place to go! read more

After Uhaul made a disaster of getting a hitch installed, I contacted Eckharts, which, I should have done from the jump. Either way... spoke to Brian (excellent!) and luckily was able to have the hitch installed same day. Super helpful and knowledgeable - can't say enough good things! The hitch blends in with the car... looks great! read more

I just came from Exhart where they tried to rip me off ( probably going in there as a single woman) I made an appointment to get a towing hitch added onto my 2015 Acura RDX. I had spoken to them several times mentioning I was using it for a boat. I arrive this morning at 10:28 for my 10:30 appointment. I start confirming the price with the gentleman and he said oh you wanted the electric added too? ( by the way thats standard when adding a towing hitch they go together) he said that will be another $220, he wanted to say $290 but because of the "miscommunication" he'll take $70 off and only charge an additional $220. This didn't seem right and I quickly confirmed my intuition with a male friend who works in mechanics. I argued with the man stating it was not okay what he was doing and he then said if you don't want to pay me cash I won't add the hitch because you are going to challenge the charge. I'm extremely disappointed and Insulted. But there is always a happy ending. Next week Uhaul is doing what was supposed to be done today for half the price! Look at the picture at the estimate. I Give this establishment zero stars. Horrible customer service. read more

Terrific experience. The Reseda guys added a 2" receptor hitch to our Acura wagon so I could mount a Saris Model 4412 ("Freedom") 2-bike rack. I had made an appointment for 8 AM. I arrived 7:50 AM. They took me right away. I walked to nearby Athenian Grill for a tasty breakfast burrito, and returned at 9:15 AM to find everything completed. It was not cheap ($412) but I figure I paid not for an hour's labor and materials, but for decades of experience and professionalism. Well worth it. I inquired about a discount for cash but they said no. That makes sense--they are a repair shop so any work done on a car has to get recorded. Plus, it's more honest. Took me longer to crawl back over the Sepulveda Pass in morning work traffic than for them to have installed the receptor...life in Los Angeles... read more

My Vader has a center exhaust system which does not allow for a hitch system in the rear for my bike rack. Booo!! Another one of our cars that can support a hitch is lowered and a normal hitch would not support the rack either. Let me tell you. I searched all over for a place that can customize and weld the hitch into place. Zero luck in the OC without paying over $450. This place was recommended after sending out a SOS over FB looking for a reputable place. Truth is, this place is Amazing. Total hidden gem, old school style. In about an hour they were able to get us up and ready with a beautuful flawless hitch on a lowered car. Huge thumbs up because we can go riding again. Everyone here was super nice and very professional. Price was reasonable for the part and the labor involved. Located out in the Valley. Plenty of food around to that you can walk too while you wait. Huge thumbs up. I am a fan. read more

Writing these guys a long overdue review. We've had them install multiple tow hitches on different vehicles. Most recently on our X3 and Glk350 SUVs. Both vehicles were involved in rear end crashes and both times the hitch saved the car/occupants from major damage & injury. The x3 was hit by a drunk driver going over 100 mph on the freeway (we were going about 70, so a 30mph speed differential) with a motorcycle carrier on the back, and deflected the impact energy to the side. The glk was hit with a Thule bicycle rack and also absorbed almost all of the energy. Both were inspected post-crash and there was zero frame damage to the vehicles. Both of the other cars were totaled. In summary, getting a hitch from these guys is not only functional, it can also help reduce damage in the unfortunate event of a collision. read more

Elkhart's sure has their act together. They made our hitch from scratch, which is impressive. They are nice and polite, super professional and timely. Very impressed. read more

These guys are pros, no wishy washy estimates, hemming or hawing, straight to the point. What kind of car? Ok, here's your price including installation. Seriously? That's $300 cheaper than those other places that have to order the hitch from a manufacturer who made them overseas. All hitches made in the USA. 70+ years in the game boys and girls, no amateurs here. I have 2019 Jaguar F-Pace, not an easy install, these guys asked me to drop off at 8 AM, ready by 11:20 AM when I called back. Damn...hitch looks good and I can now pull up to 2000 pounds. I still don't know what I'm going to pull but damnit, I'm pulling something manly, and big or loud, maybe my wife will let me buy something cool. read more

I made an appointment by phone. The gentleman was kind and informative. He quoted a price and was able to accommodate me the next day. On the day of appt, I was greeted promptly and was told it could take up to two hours. It was done in one. Five stars easy. If I had another car, I would bring it here without hesitation. Thank you, Eckharts of Reseda. read more

They do quality work, and completed the install while I waited. I've used them before on a previous vehicle.

Great place. Great customer service. Perfect product. Brian quoted a price over the phone, brought my car in the next day at the scheduled time and was done in 1-1/2 hours. Very very clean shop and waiting area. I highly recommend read more

I had a hitch installed, looks good but I hope the bolt in the center is attached to the frame, from below it looks like it is bolted into the floorboard. 2nd, my trailer wiring wasn't lighting up properly, so I asked Brian to check it out, of course it was a $90 diagnosis. When they called to say it was working okay, I was told there was nothing wrong with it, and he pressed the connection together forcefully. It worked and told me to sandpaper the connection inserts. But to charge that much of advice for $90. My loss. read more

They were easy to deal with and install was great. Good pricing. Install while I waited.

Very efficient. Saw us the same day. Did great work. We dropped off in the morning and was able to pick up the same day. It's more expensive than having U haul do the work but it's guaranteed. read more

I have a trailer hitch on my GMC Acadia with a 2" receiver, and a bike rack with a 1 1/4" part that I wanted to fit onto it. They custom welded me an adaptor piece, complete with an additional piece so I could still lock it to my car. From phone call to job completion, it was a matter of hours. Brian was friendly, down to earth, knowledgeable, and creative in the solutions he suggested when I first arrived. Very straightforward with the pricing and various options he suggested. When I returned a couple hours later to pick up the adaptor, Mike was super nice and walked me through what they had made for me, how to put the adaptor and the new lock on, and made the whole process very easy. You don't see guys doing business this well very often anymore. I was more than impressed. 10 stars. ;-) read more
