Great install. Jeff and Rocco were very communicative, fast replies. Busy place, but still took the time to show me the fine points of the hitch. read more

Tiny shop located in Palatine across from Pearle Vision on that stretch of commercial buildings flanking Northwest Highway. Went here and got a hitch installed from an etrailer.com order that I had shipped to this vendor. They do this often and came recommended by the supplier. It was a quick job. Everyone seems to recommend them. I am adding mine too. read more

Master Hitch - Auto Parts & Supplies Near Me - Palatine, Illinois

Master Hitch is absolutely amazing! They are helpful, honest, down-to-earth, cost-effective, and incredibly personable. I called them twice to grill them about installing a hitch on my SUV for a bike rack, and they patiently answered all of my questions and provided a very fair and competitive quote. They even went above and beyond and recommended a hitch bike rack based on my needs. After installing the hitch, they even unboxed a hitch bike rack to demonstrate how it would work with my vehicle. I had the hitch installed one day, went comparison shopping for a bike rack the next day, and ended up right back at Master Hitch the following day to buy the hitch bike rack they had recommended in the first place. The employees care about their customers and go above and beyond to provide the best service. Highly recommended! read more

I had a problem with my trailer wheel and it had to be replaced as I was going through Illinois. They even painted the rim for me before putting the tire on it. This business was recommended by another and they were right! These guys did a great job for a reasonable price! I would highly recommend them to anyone. read more

Fantastic service! I had a hitch installed on my 2016 Ford Fusion Titanium, and everything went so smoothly!! I am very glad I found Master Hitch, and will definitely be recommending to others!!!! read more

Great experience! Tom is helpful and friendly and got our work done quickly. Much better price than the dealer and had the hit hitch in stock. read more

I've been here twice for services and have been happy with each visit. I purchased a hitch first and then came back and got the wiring done. These guys are professional and also a wealth of knowledge in regards to all things towing. No over selling or trying to get you to buy whatever. They insist on only selling you what is needed at the time and also the correct item. Highly recommend these guys. You can go here with confidence that you'll be taken care of. read more

We had a hitch installed here for our Subaru, and we couldn't be happier with the service. The price, which included both the hitch and installation, was half of what the dealer quoted us. The owner truly specializes in hitches and clearly knows his craft. Highly recommend! It was a trek from Chicago but worth it read more

Great to work with! Does not over sell - gives you what you need in a timely fashion. Highly recommend read more

I'm sad that I found this place just as I was moving out of state. What a gem this place is!! I knew i'd be doing a several month road-tour where i'd be carting a whole bunch of crap in my car, and contemplated having a hitch put on so that I could put one of those metal carriers to hold luggage or containers, whatever... so I stopped here to price out the cost of doing so. The guy working the counter was friendly enough, on what seemed like a busy day. He explained how things work, the timeline to install, discussed their availability and he was willing to try and help get me in during a busy holiday weekend. All in all I decided not to put a hitch on my SUV, but the 15 minutes or so that I spent here talking to this guy to get information was well worth my time. I felt like this place is really trustworthy and had heard it has a good reputation. I also believe that they do work for some of the local car dealerships, which again helps their reputation. If I ever did need a hitch, this is definitely where I'd come!!! Highly recommended read more

He ordered the correct hitch. He called me the same day it arrived. Made and appointment within 2 days. They took us in on arrival. We were only a couple of doors from Starbucks. They called us about an hour later and said we were all done. The price was what we were quoted. They even helped us with final assembly of our new bicycle rack and installed it into the hitch to make sure the fit was perfect. We couldn't be more please with the hitch and their service. What wonderful people. read more

Great job by a great team! I wanted a bike rack for my Audi Q5 and was given an appointment a week out. Impressive operation far away from where I live :) The fitting was solid, pricing explained upfront and a short tutorial put the icing on the cake. read more

I have not yet purchased the hitch and bike rack but I asked for a quote and minutes later Susie called and had all the information I could possibly ask for. And she even had jokes which was great. Not sure they are the cheapest and I don't care but she knew exactly what I would need and I am excited to get this done upon my return from my trip. Thank you so much for your knowledge and professionalism. read more

Got help in a pinch with no appointment on a Saturday when they weren't officially open. Fixed our electrical connection issue quickly and didn't have to scrap our trip to transport our boat. Owner was wonderful- didn't catch his name but ... can't thank you enough ! read more

I had a hitch put on my Acura in anticipation of a Thule bike rack I had ordered online. Tom responded quickly to give me an online quote. Ryan helped me with the hitch. While I was waiting, I noticed the very same bike rack I ordered online was on display for less than I had paid. Ryan gave me a demo on how it works. After I left, I canceled the rack I ordered and came back the next day to buy the one at MasterHitch. Ryan put the bike rack on my hitch and gave me another demo. He also provided excellent safety information and practical tips. I highly recommend MasterHitch to all women (and men) for hitch and Thule bike rack information! read more

I called Master Hitch last minute after uhaul who I had a appointment with for weeks cancelled on me last minute. I had already take the day off of work. I was able to get in first thing morning and get my 2022 Toyota Highlander outfitted with a hitch and wiring installed. They did a fabulous job and looks good to. I not from area but if I have any needs I will be back for sure. Don't hesitate to get hitch or trailer work done here. read more

I needed my 2001 F250 SD rear wiring redone for towing as I bought the truck without a bed and the original wiring was ripped out with it. I have a fabricated flat bed that I wired some old school Ford tail lights yet had no reverse lights, a 22 year old wiring harness end plug left in place to work with, which I did some rigging just to be legal, and a 7 pin towing plug which was DOA I went to U-Haul in Dundee and they turned me on to Master Hitch, after a short conversation with Tom about my "Spaghetti Wiring" I drove to Palatine and after walking in the building I knew in was in the right place and had to get the job done right there and then. My truck was completely rewired in 1-1/2 hours with a new 7 pin plug to replace the original which was green with corrosion, my license plate lights which worked along with my tail lights and blinked with the hazards (weird) now function correctly, only when the lights are on, and I now have functional back up lights, and a new 7 pin tow plug. Nice clean professional wiring job with my "Spaghetti" laying on the floor..LOL...I could not be happier with the work done and the expertise of the guys in back, and will always be 1st on my list for anything towing related. Cool touch was the 30+ year old old school tester on the wall for tail light verification. Take it from a guy that does all his own work, wiring sucks and these guys made it look like childs play, and I highly recommend there service center read more

Did good work, were quick and easy. No surprises on costs. There's a Starbucks down the road where you can hang while they install your hitch. read more

I bought a hitch from Master Hitch and got it installed on my Maxda CX-5. They did a great job at a good price. Came in on a Wednesday morning at 10am like they recommended. They said they'd have it done in an hour. I went to Starbucks and a little under an hour later it was done! read more

These guys/gal are extremely knowledgeable, honest and fair. I've owned RV's for 35+ years and have been going to Master Hitch the whole time. I'm an X-auto mechanic with certifications from GMC Truck and BMW (cars) and I'm a perfectionist. I just picked my motorhome up today from them and the bill for an onboard air compressor installation was not only fair it was LESS THAN I WAS QUOTED! When's the last time someone charged you LESS than quoted for ANYTHING and did their work flawlessly and quickly?! Master Hitch is the very best there is for your towing/snow plow needs. read more

Great experience! Walked in, waited at the diner next door, still eating when I got a call they'd finished. Thank you!!!

I go there occasionally for help with my trailers. Yesterday and today had a minor emergency. Squeezed me in to help out. Couldn't have asked for a better response, advice and help. Charge was minimal for the work they did. Tom was very helpful, educational and extremely courteous with my lack of trailer hitch knowledge. They sure know their stuff. Highly recommended. My go to for all things trailer related. Thanks again Tom and Rick ( I think that was his name) read more

I called regarding having a hitch installed on my "hand-free' lift gate car. The owner was very knowledgeable and honest with me and, as a result, I didn't have the hitch installed because it would interfere with the "hands free' function. In other words, this business is trustworthy, honest and very knowledgeable and I recommend them as a result. it's refreshing to find a business like this and I hope you will give them the opportunity for your business. read more

I needed to purchase a hitch and have it installed on my 2010 Highlander so I could attach a bicycle rack. Based on their ratings here on Yelp, and their proximity to my home, I decided to work with Master Hitch, and I'm glad I did. These folks really know their business - they've been around for more than forty years. They're knowledgeable and friendly, and they'll recommend the right hitch based on your intended use. Installation was done efficiently and professionally, and I was in and out in about one hour, but that's only because I arrived very early (while I was there the queue was already starting to build). If you need hitch for your vehicle, I'd strongly recommend you go with Master Hitch. read more

Get your car/truck trailer hitch here. It is first come first serve. Great service. Fast service. I will use them again.

I recently needed a tow hitch installed on my vehicle. I researched a few possible installers and one of them was Master Hitch. I gave them a call, got an estimate and made an appointment for after all of the required materials would be there. Another shop had a less expensive hitch installation estimate, but their reviews were not as good as the ones for Master Hitch. I am so glad that I went to Master Hitch to do the installation. It is as beautiful as a trailer hitch can be, yet the install is so good that the hitch is hardly noticeable. The trailer wiring is installed in a bracket instead of just hanging. Tom explained to me what I should look for in trailer wiring to make sure that the signals worked properly and that no damage was done to my vehicle. He gave me a sheet that also had that information for future reference. The total due after the very fast installation was a little less than the estimate - no upselling or up charges. Towing a trailer can be dangerous, so you want to have the best equipment. Tom and Master Hitch will help you with that. Five Stars! read more

When we had a new car, we needed to get a hitch. I called up Master Hitch again and they were able to get me in and set up quickly. They finished in about an hour and I was on my way. They are great, I would use them again. read more

We have been using Master Hitch for years and I'm not sure why I have never thought to leave them a review. So hear it is, a little late! These guys really know their stuff and are straight shooters. We use trailers and hitch mounted racks in our business and they have always given us great advice and service. I wouldn't even think about using another company. What I really like is they have always been willing to help us with small projects like repairing a weld or reinforcing a piece of equipment - they always find a solution! They are often very busy but they will try to squeeze you in if they can and their pricing is always fair. There is no other place for your hitch or trailer needs...Mark, Emerald Lawn Care read more

I have3 used master hitch for the past 10 years....always grat service. the owners are very fair in the pricing...and if they can save money for the repair. teddiekossof.com teddie kossof read more

They are super busy but were so patient with me in answering all my questions. They offered valuable suggestions for my other future projects that made sense and were affordable. They have worked on multiple of our vehicles and have always taken care of military vets. Don't be put off by the fact that they're busy or the aura that they're too busy for you. That's just not the case. They do high quality work and have a high demand for that quality. I will continue to go back to Master Hitch for any future modifications! Thank you, Jaron #bakerstream read more

I bought a hitch and bike rack here, and can't say enough about the great service. Almost a year after buying here, I stupidly lost the key to my bike rack. Copying the remaining key turned out to be complicated, but Susie at Master Hitch was just wonderful getting me replacements. Five stars from start to replacement! read more

These guys are great.. Tom and Scot were very helpful in taking me through the hitch options for my bike carrier. I was installed super quick and very reasonably priced. Don't waste your time with dealers. They are a rip off and many times screw up the install. These are the only guys you need. read more

Added a hitch to my SUV. They did a great job and I'm extremely satisfied with the price and how fast they were able to install it on a busy Saturday morning! read more

No wonder why they are at 5 stars.. no matter if it's a wiring issue, brake issue, Axel issue etc. they will get to the bottom of it very fast and fix it at a reasonable price. My latest visit was to check if the wiring was working on my newly installed brake controller from the dealer.. I had an issue of my brakes not engaging and before I took it back to Mercedes, I wanted the experts to confirm the wiring was ok. The experts are Master Hitch, and they checked it in no time, confirming it is a brake issue on my trailer not my controller. They didn't even charge me this time for their time... Businesses like this are far and few between, highly recommend! read more
