Great mom & pop shop for trailer hitches in Orlando

Hey, folks. I was looking to put a hitch on my Honda Element myself. But, I found a place on the west side of downtown that sold it to me installed for less than I could have bought the hardware myself. It was $112.50 for a class 2 hitch installation.

That did not include the electrical, as I opted to do that myself (fairly labor intensive on the Element-- its pre-wired but you have to remove a seat and pop interior panels to get to the dang harness!). They sold me the kit thought for the same as it went online.

Lastly, I have a soft spot for them because they are a mom & pop blue-collar shop. My father ran a similar shop in small town Ohio growing up, and there just aren't enough of these around.

The place is WeldRite at 815 S. O.B.T., just out of downton. Look them up if you need a hitch or similar.

Do they have a web site? If not can you post a phone #? I would like to see if they offer one for a 03' 750 ACE.

Address & number...

They operate on first come basis, so you don't need an appointment. I think they are open 7-5 most days. I got there when they weren't busy, and it took less than 20 minutes.
