Towing & Hauling Installation & Service

Towing and hauling puts more demand on your vehicle than almost any other type of driving — and doing it safely starts with having the right equipment installed correctly by people who understand the full picture. At Northstar Automotive Group in Gormley, ON, Master Mechanic Dawood Motala and his team of certified technicians provide complete towing and hauling installation and service for every make and model, from basic trailer hitch installations and brake controller wiring to fifth wheel setups, transmission coolers, and heavy-duty suspension upgrades. Whether you're towing a boat to one of Ontario's lakes, hauling equipment to a job site, or setting up a truck for serious work, we make sure every component is rated, installed, and configured for the load you're pulling — because when you're towing, there's no margin for a shortcut.

Trailer Hitch Installation

We install trailer hitches with proper frame mounting, torque specifications, and wiring integration for your specific vehicle, ensuring your hitch is rated for your towing needs and installed securely enough to handle every kilometre between you and your destination.

Brake Controller Installation

We install electric trailer brake controllers with proper calibration for your trailer's brake system, giving you smooth, proportional braking that keeps your trailer in line and reduces stopping distance when you're hauling a heavy load.

Gooseneck Hitch Installation

We install gooseneck hitches in your truck bed with proper frame attachment and ball positioning, providing the high-strength, low-profile towing connection that gooseneck trailers require for stable, safe towing at maximum capacity.

Fifth Wheel Hitch Installation

We install fifth wheel hitches with proper rail mounting, kingpin alignment, and bed clearance verification, setting up your truck for the stable, heavy-duty towing that fifth wheel trailers demand for safe operation on Ontario's highways.

Weight Distribution Hitch Setup

We set up weight distribution hitches with correct spring bar tension and sway control adjustment, leveling your tow vehicle and trailer combination to restore steering feel, braking performance, and stability that a heavy tongue weight takes away.

Trailer Wiring & Connector Repair

We diagnose and repair trailer wiring and connector faults that cause intermittent or failed trailer lights, brakes, and accessories — because towing with faulty lighting isn't just an inconvenience, it's a safety and legal issue on any Ontario road.

Tow Package Wiring Installation

We install complete tow package wiring harnesses with proper integration into your vehicle's electrical system, ensuring your trailer lights, brakes, and charge line function correctly without overloading your factory wiring or causing electrical faults.

Transmission Cooler Installation

We install transmission coolers with proper line routing, secure mounting, and leak-free fittings, protecting your transmission from the heat that towing generates and extending its service life significantly beyond what the factory cooling system alone can provide.

Engine Oil Cooler Installation

We install engine oil coolers that reduce operating temperatures under heavy towing and hauling conditions, protecting your engine from the accelerated wear and potential damage that comes from sustained high-load operation without adequate oil cooling.

Heavy-Duty Suspension Upgrades for Towing

We install heavy-duty suspension upgrades including helper springs, air bag assist kits, and upgraded shock absorbers that give your truck or SUV the load-carrying capacity and stability it needs to tow and haul at its rated capacity without squatting, swaying, or bottoming out.
