While the big box stores sell generic parts to DIY, we make and install towing solutions to fit your vehicle, and your life.
Eckharts legacy
You don't stay in business for over 80 years by cutting corners.
Eckharts isn’t a franchise or a faceless chain; we are a third-generation family business started by Cal Eckhart, a master ship-weldor who believed in doing things the right way.
When you walk into our shop, you aren’t just a transaction number. You’re a neighbor.
That’s the difference between corporations and craftsmen.
Eckharts Quality
Here's the thing big manufacturers won't tell you: they save money by making a hitch lighter. Many competitors have "downsized" their materials to save on shipping and steel costs. And over a million of their hitches recalled proves it.
Eckharts has never compromised the performance or structural integrity of our products to save a buck. We have seen too many competitor installations fail, bend, or detach because they were under-engineered.
The pile you see here is proof. These are all hitches we've removed from customer vehicles before installing Eckharts' quality hitches.
Eckharts Fit
Have you ever seen a car with a hitch hanging low, dragging near the ground, looking like an afterthought? That’s usually a "universal" bolt-on from a big box store.
At Eckharts, we believe a hitch should be put to work, but barely seen.
Custom Contouring
We design our hitches to work with the undercarriage and back end of your specific vehicle, whether it's a rugged truck, a sleek Porsche or a classic car.
Better Clearance
Our designs keep the hitch snug against the vehicle's undercarriage, maintaining your vehicle’s ground clearance and aesthetics.
No Ugly Gaps
We don't sell "close enough." We sell "perfect fit."
