First purchase, excellent value and service ensures it will not be the last!

My first experience with Towequipe resulted in prompt and efficient service. Although the free standard delivery option selected quoted an acceptable 3 to 5 days delivery, the item was received the day after ordering. The item was very competitively priced and everything arrived well packaged. The whole experience with Towequipe was straightforward and trouble free. If you are buying, this is a web site well worth considering.

Just what I asked for!!

The goods arrived very promptly, and in good condition. The only comment I would have is please print the fitting instructions (especially the wiring instructions) in larger type .

very good service and prompt delivery

Excellent company just one small thing - the plastic cover that you put on when the towball is detached was broken on delivery, the packaging could have been little better. I trust tow equip will forward me anew one

Snow chain disaster!

I found the customer service, at tow equips very disappointing, in my recent purchase of snow chains for my vehicle. On ordering, I specified size of chain to later on delivery to be sent the wrong size! I of course contacted the company, and they asured me the chains would fit, and asked for photos to show the problems, i was experiencing. They agreed there was a problem and arranged a per paid, returns envelope, to return the product. A week later I had received a new set! To my amazement, exactly the same as the first! Its quite incredible,as i spoke to a member of staff, a few days previously to double check my order. In frustration I contacted Tow equipped, to express my anger and demand a refund! I was told, I would have to pay for the costs, in returning the item, as the prepaid label I had used previously was no longer available to customers! They also informed me that refunds were only maid if items were in as new condition! I of course had used the product, in attempts to fit the chains...

I have personally found the whole process, extremely frustrating and believe tow equipe needs to improve on their customer service..

Good Afternoon
We apologise on this occasion we have not been able to supply you with an item that is appropriate for you specific vehicle. We appreciate that this must have been very frustrating for you and we have since improved our customer service procedures. When contacted the manufacturer offered no explanation of the fitment issues originally mentioned and for this we apologise.
Thanks for being so honest; we appreciate customers who let us know when things are not right with our service.

Good untill you get a faulty item

I bought a car specific towbar wiring kit for my ix35. When I connected my trailer I had no brake lights. After checking the system I found I had a faulty relay. As it was five months since purchase, I phoned and eventually got a person, explained the checks I'd made and waited on a call back none came. After four calls three repeats of the checks, three call backs and four days they eventually said they would get a relay from the makers and forward it to me. This was done promptly. The calls and time spent by them trying to get the item from the manufacturer at no cost to them would have paid for a new relay, never mind the hassle to myself.

We are sorry for the inconvenience, as the module of the wiring kit had a fault, this needed to be sourced direct with the manufacturer, as we do not keep parts of kits in stock.

Tops for service, advice and qual;ity goods

For someone who was quite naive about acquiring the correct type of roof carrier for modern cars not fitted with rails or a gutter, then Towequipe are the experts in providing advice and the correct goods at competitive prices. Everything was provided with crystal clear instructions which were dedicated specifically for each model of car.

Fantastic serviceery pleasant and

I ordered a Tow-bar and so I rang Towequipe direct. The lady on the phone was very pleasant and helpful, nothing was any problem. As I live in France I had the tow-bar delivered to my friends father's house (from where my friend would pick it up for me) I had a problem with the tracking service, so I rang Towequipe again and once again my problem was answered very quickly and efficiently. I would very definitely use this firm again and would recommend them to anyone.
