Looking for a tow hitch installer in MD/Va

Hello fellow members,
Sorry if I break some forum posting rules, but after reading some tow hitch install bad stories and researching this forum and google, I was wondering if anyone can recommend an installer in Maryland/Norhthen Va area for my 2015 M-Sport.
I am hopeful that a fellow member might have some suggestions.

Yes. His name is "Lost". Cmon man I made a diy on this and it's super easy. Takes maybe 4-5 hours. You got this! So many YouTube videos too! It's literally 4 bolts.

My only recommendation is to attach the ball and then activate your rear camera to make sure it's lined up perfect. Found out after I did mine I'm off by like an inch.

Are you planning on doing the electronics?

Lol. Ok. Self instal is the last resort, but thank you for the motivation. I would like to have the full option of towing, not just to be able to have the bikes in the back.

I also did mine myself. take your time and it's not bad.
which one are you buying?
I got the Stealth hitch and I'm really happy with it.
they use ATO Autosports in Baltimore to do the installs.

hope that helps.

I used Cap World in Laurel in Apr19 to add hitch to my '15 X5. Said they had experience fitting to X5 and it showed. Job done in < 1hr and towed the next weekend without issue.
