    Towbar for MY15 Yeti - worth going to the dealer?

    As mentioned on another post, I have received quotes between $1,600 to $1,900 from various Skoda dealerships to supply and fit a towbar and wiring kit. I'm told it is a 4 hour job that could take longer?
    My nearest dealership has offered to do it for $1,688 + $45 for a loan car. Said dealer isn't the most competent or trust worthy (like the majority I guess).
    Is there an alternative? Should I obtain the genuine parts and do it myself, depending on complexity?
    Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

    putting a towbar on my wife's Subaru was really easy... a few screws, swap over the rear bar, plug in the connector and then dremel out the hole in the bumper

    I bought a kit like this -> Yeti Wagon | Towbars Australia

    It's an okay alternative and pretty much half the price. Still, probably out of my scope of expertise. I'm sure having a factory fitted towbar will assist with resale when the time comes.
