Vehicle-specific tow bar fitting you can trust

We fit tow bars for both cars and vans, giving you the flexibility to tow trailers, caravans, or even boats with confidence. Our team at IDS Coachworks in Airdrie understands that every vehicle is different, so we match each installation to the specific requirements of your make and model, utilising top-tier options like Tow Trust towbars and PCT tow bars.


With our dedicated electrics and precise vehicle programming, we ensure your parking sensors and stability systems work seamlessly after fitting. You benefit from a safe, reliable connection every time you tow, keeping your vehicle fully prepared before you head out or book a seasonal caravan servicing check. If you need lighting or wiring integrated, we handle it all as part of our fitting process. Every job is finished with the same care and expertise we're known for across Lanarkshire.

Why upgrading your tow bar setup matters

Having the right tow bar and electrics is about more than just pulling a trailer. We ensure that your car's built-in systems, like parking sensors and stability control, stay fully functional after fitting. Our dedicated electrics are designed to communicate with your vehicle, so you avoid warning lights and keep safety features active.


If you're planning to tow a caravan, boat, or work trailer, our installations let you focus on the road ahead, knowing everything's wired and programmed as it should be. It's peace of mind for family getaways and busy workdays alike, especially when paired with our tailored range of vehicle accessories.

Fantastic service as always. Have now had 3 towbars fitted by IDS. Service is always very professional and very quick. Recently changed to a Ford Ranger where I needed a lower towbar fitted in order to pull caravans than what was already on. IDS couldn't have been more helpful. Highly recommended.
