I need to add a tow-bar onto my 2020 Rio (to carry bikes) and I'm wondering how this would impact the warranty. Quotes from mobile fitting services such as Tow-Bar Express and PF Jones are coming in much cheaper than my Kia dealer, but I'm concerned that the warranty would be invalidated if problems arise in the future. Has anyone had experience of using mobile fitters, and is the reduced costs worth the risk relative to the security of a Kia dealer?
Many thanks

Most dealers sub-contract the work out to a tow bar specialist that is near them, do a search to find a local specialist and see what they charge. As to the warranty, it would only be affected if what was done to the car caused an issue.
