Installation of EcoHitch 306-X7322 Hitch on 2018 Honda HR-V

Question:

Thank you for your recommendation on the 306-X7322 Hitch, it seems that this one is the perfect one for my 2 heavy e-bikes 75lbs each. Problem I am trying to solve now is how to get it installed. I called some of the locations listed on your site, per your recommendation, but I was luck with only one site that said they can do the service. Price charged was between $155-$310, and if it it takes more time this price could go higher than than. I though this to be very expense. 1 Is this the average price charged across the installers? 2 Is there a video on how to install this specific product? Thanks

According to EcoHitch, their # 306-X7322 2 inch receiver should take about an hour for a professional to install it. The hitch would work well with the Hollywood Racks # HLY84FR bike rack you've looked at.

The price you'll be charged is contingent upon what the prevailing hourly labor rate is in your area. This rate can typically vary from about $ 75.00 to $ 130.00 per hour, so the price you were quoted does seem a bit excessive.

We do not have any footage of the # 306-X7322 being installed, but if you're within comfortable driving distance of Wentzville MO (about 40 miles west of St. Louis) we could install the hitch for you at a fair and reasonable cost.
