These guys installed a hitch and wiring harness on my outback for less than half of what the subaru dealer wanted, in the time it took to eat 3 tacos at the taco bell next door. You don't want uhaul messing with your car's frame and wiring. It's worth the drive to Master Hitch. read more

Dealership quoted 800. This place did it for 300. Dealeeship said it would take 1 full day. This place did it in 1 hour. Same product and brand too. I towed my life in a uhaul from Chicago to LA when I moved and it was perfect. No problems. The service is awesome too. They tried real hard to fit me in with my busy schedule and they were super friendly to talk to and deal with. Awesome place. Great service and product. read more

These guys are fantastic! I called late afternoon on a Thursday, and they were able to fit me in first thing Friday morning to get a brake controller installed on my new truck. I had called a few other places in the area and they were all difficult to deal with, so I was super happy to find a place that was willing to help with a friendly attitude! They installed the brake controller quickly and professionally for a fair price. I will definitely be back here to further accessorize my truck! read more

Go see Tom if you have any trailer/towing needs. Super informative and they have so much in stock there. I'm excited to get my truck and camper all wired up. Thanks for the friendly service! read more

I first found this place on Yelp and read the great reviews... I'm glad I took everyones advice and gave this place a try. They were great! Tom did a great job explaining everything about the installed hitch and it's limitations, etc. They did a clean a complete job. Very professional. I'm so happy with the work I have sent a number of people there for hitch installs. Keep up the great work and Master Hitch will be the first place I go for my next car! I will return in the future! read more

Tom and his crew took care of us quickly and efficiently -- installing a brake controller, cleaning up unforeseen wiring issues, and lending their expertise on additional modifications to our trailer. The shop stocks a huge variety of tow-specific products: from hitch balls... to side marker lights... and everything in between. This place would be right at home in Bozeman or Cheyenne, but for the Chicago area, this level of experience and service is extremely unique. I'm a fan! read more

I've been a customer here a few times now. Most recently for boat trailer repair. I've previously been in for trailer parts and trailer hitch installation in the past. These guys never let me down. Always fair and knowledgeable. For the trailer repair, requiring welding/fab, it was was done right and the cost/labor very reasonable and honest. It took me a few phone calls to find someone to do the work. They were easy to schedule drop off and pick up. thanks guys and nice job read more

These guys rock! Got new hitch installed, they have it in stock, and out the door in less than an hour.

Had dual path air lift suspension bags installed, wrong system installed. Then to find out they pieced mine together the tech informed me. After getting the correct one installed. I was Charged extra for the correct system. Only $50. It was your mistake , you should have eaten it. Customer service and attitude would be a vast improvement there. Still doesn't work right. They came recommended as a great place. Couldn't have been more disappointing. Will be contacting manufacture for help. read more

Went to Master Hitch yesterday for a hitch on our new Pacifica. Dealer wanted $1200 but Master Hitch did a great job for under $600. 5 star people read more

Sure ER quick and professional. Being a fairly knowledgeable woman, I always worry about mansplaining with something like this. Both of the men I interacted with were able to read me and give me the appropriate amount of knowledge I needed. And they were done in about 10 minutes! read more

Called, received quote! Brought car in on Monday out the door in 30 minutes- super friendly will be going back for additional accessories and recommend to all ! Thanks for the great customer service . read more

Thank you for the friendly customer service! I have a friend who needed a hitch and I inquired about the special fancy van he drives to set it up, thinking it was going to cost an arm and a leg. but not so. Your service even described in detail how the work gets done and what needs to be in place and about the pieces and parts. Thanks! Happy Holidays! Peace Barb read more

Master Hitch is the real deal. This is a busy shop, yet they are fast, professional, helpful, very reasonable priced as well. Tell them exactly what your needs are and they will sell/install exactly what you need. When I called, they had 17 customers in line for the day as a first come/first served wait time. I arrived 30 minutes after they opened and within one hour, I was out the door with my new 2 inch trailer hitch installed (without wiring or cutting of my bumper). They went over the do's and don'ts of weight limit etc. As other comments mentioned, they are busy but that does not mean they don't take the time to explain everything and provide you with fast, excellent service. I highly recommend this place and even recommended them to a friend the same day as my service was completed. read more

The hitch receiver on my work truck bent due to being old and rusted. Looked all over no one had hitch in stock was referred to Master Hitch. I found the staff to be helpful and Very knowledge. Awesome customer service. My problem was resolved and I was back to working in 2 hours. read more

Honest reliable work done at a reasonable price. They take cases first-come first-serve, but you can call ahead for a bigger job. They fixed the 7 pin electrical on my vehicle after another shop had messed up the installation. read more

I couldn't agree more with the previous reviews of this wonderful business. I called the dealer for an estimate for installing a bicycle hitch for my car and just the parts were over double and that wasn't even including labor. Tom told me to come after 1 pm today and it could be done in a half hour. He even told me the website to look at so I could see what it would look like on my car. I am so impressed with the service and will proudly recommend this business to anyone in the market for a hitch. read more

Called around to several places to get pricing on a hitch and Master Hitch was the lowest so decided to go with them. I was told on the phone and when I dropped my vehicle off, I was told it would take 2 to 2 1/2 hours. I dropped it of first thing Saturday morning and even though there was 3 people in front of me, the job was done in 3 hours. When picking up the vehicle, Tom explained the type of hitch that was put on and why, told me the maximum amount the hitch and ball could haul. He also had one his employees switch the ball so the height of the ball would be 20" high versus 16" high which was very nice of him to do. He also explained the type of wiring system that was put on and also a little bit about the electric brake unit that had to be installed. The total price was what he quoted. read more

After reading all the positive reviews I knew where I was going to get my hitch inspected and wiring inspected. The minute I walked in the door I knew this was the place. Nothing fancy, all business and Tom behind the counter is a breath of fresh air. Told him I needed the inspection and what my intentions were of pulling a small camper. Had them install a brake controller and Tom explained how it works. I was in and out in 90 minutes. Total professionals. read more

I had trouble with a bike rack that I couldn't fix myself - the folks at Master Hitch set me up with the exact equipment I needed, and sound advice that came from the experience of installing a whole bunch of towing equipment. Easiest fix I've ever had on my car! read more

Took my ram 3500 to get 5th wheel installed and these guys are good super huge discount from my area I drove from orland park for business truck. They installed a curt 25000 pound and I am satisfied read more

In at 4.20, out at 4.40 with new hitch for my 2018 Wrangler JL. I called ahead with a question on my Thule bike rack due to the mounted rear tire. Ryan said an extension probably wouldn't be needed but bring the rack and we could test, of course these guys know hitches and an extension was not needed. Left with the invoice complete with weight limits and explanation. Very reasonable price completed a pleasant experience. Nice Job team. read more

I used yelp to send a message on the scope of my need. I got a phone call the following morning with a good quote. I called back the following day and they were able to work me into the schedule. They did not sell me anything I did not need, were professional and competent. read more

It's a different experience to be a woman and get things done to your car. Sometimes people treat women like idiots and try to sell all kinds of useless crap, but that was NOT the case here! This was the best customer experience I can recall ever having. Master Hitch was recommended to me by the Volkswagen Autobarn and I'm SO glad I went. I showed up Friday before Memorial Day 40 minutes before they close. Tom was SO friendly and delighted to take care of me. He called me by my name as if we were bffs (not in a creepy way). They installed the hitch on my VW Tiguan in 15 minutes. Tom showed me bike racks because that's what I will be using the hitch for, and he never tried to sell me, never hovered, never made me feel stupid for not knowing some stuff. I ended up buying a rack and one of the guys, his name may have been Ryan, spent 10 mins teaching me about how to use it (he put together for no charge). I was in and out within 30-35 mins. So happy :) read more

Requested hitch install on Land Rover Discovery Sport 2017 and was shown user manual for the hitch to be installed. From the pictures it was pretty clear that hitch receiver would come out under the bumper and bumper would not be cut. To my surprise the bumper was cut. It does not look great. Looking at $250 for the new bumper insert plus labor. Would not use them again. read more

So glad I found this place! They saved me. I had bought an after-market hitch online...thinking I could install it myself...and quickly realized I was in over my head. The owner was great on the phone...quoted me a price and invited me to come out. I dropped my vehicle off...went to eat at the diner down the street he recommended....and walked back. When I got there, the hitch was solidly and professionally installed. He charged me 20% LESS than the quote because he said it didn't take as long as he thought... fantastic example of good customer service. Recommending to my bro-in-law who needs a hitch. I suggested that he just call about his make, model and year and let Master Hitch order the appropriate hitch and do the install. Great place!! read more

Very good experience. Went there wit leaking AirLift 1000. Leak was found and fixed quickly and i was charge very reasonable price. Will definitely go back. Thank you! read more

No complaints here, they installed a hitch/wiring harness on my Mazda CX5 this past spring, did it while I waited and at a good price. Did a clean job. Great service, thanks! read more

These guys are pros. They know so much and are very careful and polite too. If you do not know what you need - they will tell you and give you alternatives. Zero pressure and lots of good and safety suggestions on trailering. I know many of the high end car sellers (Porsche, BMW, MB etc) refer their SUV clients there because they know these guys know what they are doing. Beware of going to some local rookie with no skills and a power drill. If you are a DIY type - I suggest you want to use these guys because hauling a trailer is a serious business and you do not want to end up roadside with a busted trailer and/or tow vehicle because your hitch is not installed correctly. Play it safe and go with these guys, I do not want to be behind you this summer when your trailer releases. Be safe and smart. read more

Good service at a good price. That says it all, although the Yelp computer is refusing to post my review until I pad it out. So good service at a good price. Good service at a good price. This yelp computer is like my sixth grade teacher who sent papers back for a rewrite if they didn't meet a minimum word count. read more

If someone is getting a hitch installed you would like to think that the owner would ask if you need electrical installed. Now they have kept me waiting over an hour. Pretty ticked off right now. read more

You guys rock! I had a bearing seize on one of my trailer axles recently. i was able to drop off the camper after hours on Monday and it was all fixed ready for me to pick up after hours on Tues. Cost was totally reasonable and great service. What more could you ask for? Places like this that are honest and fair are a gold star in my book. Thanks Master Hitch! read more

You will not be the only person here. They are pretty busy. Make an appointment so they know in advance that you want. They even had a hitch I needed in stock and for a competitive price. The installation was taken care of within an hour. Thank a lot to Tom and his team! read more

I have been using Master Hitch for over 15 years. There isn't another place I would consider nor recommend. Even on their worst days, they are head and shoulders above the competition. This is the place to go for a hitch. The staff is great, patient and friendly. They deliver what they promise and they work quickly. They know their product and they will work with you to determine what is best for your needs. Also their prices are competitive and since all they do is hitches, you can count on it being done right. Some suggestions: Call First! They are swamped on the weekends. Also call to make sure they have a hitch in stock (usually they do or they can order it really fast). read more

Rocked out a hitch install. Quick and easy. Tom instructed me on every option and why or why not. Very on the ball!!

These guys ROCK! Brought in a vehicle with a hitch that was improperly installed and they not only fixed the job but did it in 30 minutes! Charges were tiny compared to the headache of dealing with "the other guy". Had a hitch put on a second car and they did it quick and price was GREAT! I highly recommend this shop. read more

Just got a hitch put on my vehicle and only took 20 minutes when I expected it to take an hour. Such nice guys working there too!

Fantastic experience. Got a hitch installed on Honda Fit. Took less than 20 minutes. These guys know what they are doing, and you can tell this is their specialty. Tom was definitely an expert, as I heard him giving multiple people advice on a wide variety of topics during the short time I was at the shop. Definitely worth the drive from the city. read more

Came here for a hitch installation on my car after U-Haul spent 2 hours trying to figure out how to do it and then gave up as it "was too hard". What took U-Haul 2 hours only took Master Hitch 45 minutes. Very helpful, would definitely recommend to anyone. read more

This is a very honest business. I brought a hitch here for repair. The charge was much less than I expected with a few extras thrown in for no charge. I highly recommend them. And the service was fast...within a few hours they called to say the work was finished. I overheard the owner (or maybe manager?) tell someone else that business was great and they needed a few more employees to keep up. That in itself is a great testimonial to their business ethics. Don't hesitate to bring your business here. read more
