Hitch Crafters

Would and will highly recommend Hitch Crafters to family and friends. I was very impressed by their service and the time Mike took to explain everything so I could feel like I was making an informed decision about our hitch and bike rack. We ended up getting the welded hitch on our Honda Odyssey and it looks great — very subtle which I am super happy about. Mike was also very helpful teaching me about the differences in bike rack types and brands and recommended I check and see if they were on sale at REI before I made a decision. They weren’t on sale at REI so I purchased our Yakima 5 bike rack from him and was happy to support the business. He installed it for me and ran through how it works which I so appreciated. Thank you Mike for your excellent service! The bike rack worked great on our family trip!

These guys know what they’re doing when it comes to hitches, towing, baseplate installations, and all things related… They equipped my Mini Cooper for flat towing behind a diesel motorhome and answered concerns about the height of my vehicle (it was lowered), need for braking assistance, tow lighting without extra wires, and tow bars. They completed the work on schedule and with impeccable quality. I highly recommend talking to Hitch Crafters before bringing your vehicle anywhere else!

I don’t think these guys should be reviewed any longer, they are awesome. They are constantly working on my hitches, trailers, trucks, brakes, wiring and the list goes on and on. Their work is clean and professional. I’m glad I found this business if not I would still be going to uhaul (which I’m not happy with).
I have found cheaper closer to my home and I still don’t use them cause the way I see it is you get what you pay for.
Top notch crew and a cool boss.
¡Thanks guys keep up the great work!

Whaooo… What a saver.
Just purchase a travel trailer from Mike Thompson and when about to drive it out we found out the break controller is not installed. We made some calls and Mike was able to get us in on 4pm on Fri. He also discovered that we installed the hitch all wrong and fixed that too.
Thank you so much.

These guys are great ! From customer service to great work. I couldn’t be more happy with the install of my hitch. I’m super picky about the work done on my cars and these guys really delivered!

Mike is super nice and very knowledgeable. I initially saw the reviews on Unilocal and decided to drive down from Long Beach to have them install a hitch assembly to my SUV. They did a great job in an hour and fifteen minutes. Superior customer service. Fair pricing. I am very pleased and definitely recommend them!

I took my 2016 Audi Q5 to install the hitch. I came in the shop a few days prior to make an appointment. Javier explained the installation and options available. My new hitch was installed in less than 2 hours after I brought my car in. Quick and awesome customer service for a decent price, I couldn’t ask for more.

From initial phone calls to meeting at the shop, Mike Johnson was professional and took great care of my truck. Great experience. I highly recommend Hitch Crafters, Mike Johnson and his staff.
Thank you !!

Really impressive all around. Clean, professional shop and super friendly staff.
Have had intermittent power going to my trailer for about a year now. The trailer package was installed by Hyundai but they struggled to diagnose the problem over the course of a couple of service calls. Decided to try Hitch Crafters because of the strength of their Unilocal reviews. Bottom line… these guys delivered.
Mike asked me to pop by for a free inspection and determined the problem within minutes. We arranged to drop my SUV off the next day for the work and I was asked to bring my trailer as well so it could also be inspected… for free! The work was done within a couple of hours and was priced exactly as quoted.
Highest recommendations for anyone looking for honest and accurate troubleshooting.

A great place to have any hitch or tow lighting installation. These guys are terrific at their profession. Brought our 06 Scion xB for base plate install and it when without a hitch (pun intended). Pricing was right on and they carry what you need or Mike the owner can get it for you. Don’t hesitate to call these guys with a question. Your always cautious when some else’s works on your vehicle but I was totally comfortable with Hitchcrafters doing the install. If I need extra work I will certainly come back here without a doubt.

Bought a new 2016 Honda Accord and instead of a trunk rack to carry my bike to various places I wanted to install a trailer hitch. As i was studying options on prefabricated hitches and installations I came across the glowing reviews on Hitch Crafters on Unilocal.
Went by there with my new car and I told Javier what I wanted. He told me that it would be no problem on installing a hitch on the car and we made an appointment for the following week.
On the appointed day, they were ready for me and I was out in a little over two hours. This is not an off the shelf hitch. They customize and fabricate the hitch right there in the shop. A rock solid installations with not a scratch on the car. You can hardly tell that the hitch is there.
I went home and put together my platform bike carrier hitched up my bike and drove for a bit. Although the carrier itself swayed a bit as can be expected from its geometry, the hitch itself was immovable.
I’m completely satisfied with the price I paid for the quality of the hitch, the professional installation on my new vehicle and the great customer service.

These guys lived up to their reputation. Mike and Javier took their time explaining the installation and options. They had the right hitch for our car and told us of potential problems with the electrical connection. They gave us a worst case price and in the end didn’t have any of the potential electrical issues and it saved us around $ 250. The installation and wiring was primo.
I didn’t have any issues with scheduling an appointment and their estimate for installation was right on the money. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend these guys.

Needed some hardware to install a trailer hitch on my 2009 Civic Si so I decided to stop in and see if they could give me a hand.
Sure enough, after speaking with Mike for a few minutes and getting the part number to him, Mike went ahead and called the manufacturer to see if they had the parts, and called me back within minutes. Went ahead and made the order, and Mike told me he would put it in right away to get it for me as soon as possible.
Super honest, friendly, helpful guy, can’t say enough good things about how easy my experience was here.
5 Stars Mike, Thank you for the help!

We’ve gone to Mike at least 3 times, and you won’t find a nicer, more competent business you can trust. He is fair, went the extra mile to ensure safety on both his parts and what we brought in. He was right on schedule, no extra waiting. Can’t recommend him enough, amazing to work with someone so nice. Wish we needed more hitch stuff done!

Looked everywhere for a hitch for my new Audi Q3. Couldn’t find one in 6 months of searching. Finally contacted Hitch Crafters. Mike talked to a manufacturer and found out one was being tested and would soon be on the market. Mike kept me informed and finally when it was available called me to reserve one. I had it installed last week and am very happy with both the product and the service. The price was very fare. Big kudos for Mike!

just awful. Nice people but total failure on my order.
the yakima carrier they show as in stock was not, delayed two weeks then shipped without rails.
awful.
wish i had just gone to REI to begin with.

Mike Johnson and Hitch Crafters are the best! They were ready to install the hitch receiver for my vehicle when I got there for my scheduled appointment. They showed me the receiver they would be installing and went to work. Two or three other customers showed up around that same time and Mike took care of everyone in a friendly and professional manner.
Javier did my installation. I could tell he knew exactly what he was doing: no cursing, no head scratching, no frustration, just an excellent job and a great attitude.
Hitch Crafters fabricates many of their own products which is pretty cool. Finally, I’d say that their prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended!

New Toyota Tundra means another trip to The Hitch Crafters. I love hanging out talking shop with the owner. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, great guys, great business and they do great work!

A+++ Service. Let me start by saying i called and and asked lots of questions. I spoke with a fella by the name of Patrick i beleive. The owner of this establishment should be proud of having an employee like this. Top notch customer service skills.
After speaking with him he scheduled me in at 3:30pm on new years eve to install an OEM hitch that i had alredy purchased through the dealer. I arrived at 2:30 and by 3:00 they were backing my truck in to the bay.
I was helped by Javier and i also inquired about a brake controller and in Less than an hour i was driving away hitch and brake controller installed. Javier is another great example of great customer service.
The quality of work is excellent. All wires for the brake controller were nicey tucked away .
There prices are a bit above average but having the piece of mind its done right and there excellent customer serclvice I have no problem paying an extra buck.
Javier and Patrick are truely and asset to Hitch Crafters
Thanks for the great expierance

Doesnt get much better than this. We had a custom hitch installed on one of our cars in order to attach a bike rack. Everything here is custom and created to fit your vehicle. It is a little more expensive than other places, but you get what you pay for. If you want perfection, this is your one stop destination.
So we set up an appointment, they did their magic in a couple of hours and sent us on our way. The hitch can accomondate a large load, but we are using it for our bikes.
Even our mechanic commented on the craftsmanship of the hitch and welding and said that baby isnt going anywhere.
5 stars baby!!! I believe its appointment only.
