Torklift Central in Kent WA is the benchmark for towing and RV equipment on trucks. These folks got my brand new Ram 3500 all set up for my truck camper. Big thanks for quick work and top quality installation.

Worked with Nick and Ben for a hitch install on our Subaru Ascent. It was a great experience from the moment I dropped the car off. Everything was clearly explained and they finished within the promised timeframe (about 1.5hrs early actually!). Will be back for the next project!!

An hour before the appointment, which had taken a week to schedule, I received a phone call asking me to cancel because they were going to repave their parking lot. Luckily, they still honored my appointment, considering I was on my way and having to drive an hour ( +/- 30 mins in traffic). I sat in their office and used their wifi to work remotely for the day. It was a relief to have the wiring completed, as I needed to pick up a trailer that weekend. All was well, or so I thought. They did not connect the reverse lights. Not essential for going forward, but extremely helpful when backing into a camping spot at night. But the kicker was where they ran the wiring and how that caused the insulation to melt around the wires, and the crimp connection to the battery was not securing the wire. Bad on me for not testing it before I left the parking lot. Shame on them for the terrible workmanship and lack of communication. Maybe at a different time, when they weren't more concerned with repaving their parking lot and were more focused on doing a quality job, this review could be more positive for this place. ‐------------ Looking at the photo after reading your response, I see what you are thinking is a crack in my exhaust. Thanks for saying you will call me to warn me. However, my car was 2 years old with less than 7,000 miles and a crack is highly unlikely. The dark mark was where I pulled the wiring harness off the exhaust after discovering it was melting the shield and insulation. It was zip tied and crossed over the exhaust. No wire run connects to the reverse lights. I was okay with the reverse lights not working, but scraping the wiring off the exhaust and seeing the improperly crimped wire run to the battery was concerning. When I checked the connection, it pulled out easily with no resistance. I suggest others assess if this business seems rushed, as it affects workmanship quality. Check all work before leaving; I wish I had.

Had the glow revolution step installed in our Airstream. We have a lift kit so I had to go with the three step version. I ordered through them, made reservations for install week later and all went smooth, except for some glitches with scheduling. But everyone rallied when they realized we were going to be stuck there For an entire day plus driving home on Friday afternoon traffic on interstate five to Tacoma. It was frustrating for a while, but they really pulled it together for us. The steps are very sturdy and work smoothly. It’s nice that you don’t release a button and have to jump away to keep your knees or shins from getting smashed. The step space is not quite as deep as our previous step so it will take a little getting used to, but the stability is remarkable. Easy to find. Be sure to turn in off Pioneer St so you can be traveling southbound in the alley. They’re always busy! Nice waiting room if you have to sit and work.

Great job. The job looks great and nice with the two plugs so I could be ready no matter what trailer connection I have. They also took care of my older Honda with floor and seat covers. Job was completed in the time frame they gave me

First time coming to Torklift Central and had a great experience. I needed a few tack welds on my steering shaft and they were able to get the job done. I didn't make an appointment, but they were still able to help me out. Took about 10 min, a lot faster than I expected. Super grateful and will definitely be coming back for future projects.

Shoutout to Torklift Central! I purchased a canopy and running boards for my truck which required installs I was not able to do. When looking all around at highly ranked places and the best price. Torklift ended up being the winner in preliminary quotes from places and after research. After the install I would agree they are still the winner! They had great customer service, the pricing they quoted me was the price I paid, and the quality of the install is great! Everything seems to work from lighting, to electric running board motors, to a well sealed and built canopy! I would highly recommend this great shop and will definitely be coming back with more projects! Thanks again Torklift Central! 😁

Got a front hitch added to my MB RV and it worked out great. I was coming from out of town so I called ahead to check on fit, sent a few pictures and got confirmation. All in all it was a good experience plus I got the bonus of being able to walk around Kent for a few hours to check it out. The cutout in the shroud looked a little unfinished so I added a vinyl trim to finish off.

I discovered this business, whilst researching for someone to install a hitch for my 2017 Honda CR-V. O, my goodness, this is a top notch business. The customer service skills are outstanding, whether over the phone or in person. The work excellent. Also to my surprise, I received a military discount. Read the "About Us". Truth be told. A family owned business in this day and age leading by setting the example. You have my business as well as my support. Thank you.

I highly recommend Tork Central. I had leaf springs replaced, a safety check and bearings repacked on my travel trailer. In the course of it they discovered my brake on one side wasn't working. They did a great job and were very good at communicating with me. A special thank you to Dylan and Andrew for all of their assistance.

The crew at TorkLift Central are really good. 5 STARS !!! I brought in an older truck brake hub with a broken wheel ( lug ) stud that needed fixing. While they didn't have the replacement stud in stock, they did knock out the broken stud for me in just a couple minutes, which helped me go to the auto parts store to match up & get the correct replacement stud. Very friendly staff, knowledgeable, helpful & motivated to help fix your problem and get you on your way again. Thank you Dylan & the mechanic who jumped right on this when I came in. I'll definitely be coming back again, Ken

I had a hitch bolt lock on the back of my truck that would not unlock (locksmith could not get it to unlock). I talked to Keegan and Dylan at their Torklift office, both friendly and knowledgeable. They arranged for Brandon to cut it off. Brandon went to work and pried it off quickly. Keegan helped me select a new locking bolt of the right size, length, and type for maximum effectiveness, even going out to my truck to make sure of the proper selection. I appreciate this prompt and very good service.

Had shopped around until I found a shop with the best reputation, pricing, and wise technicians. This place checks all the boxes and they have really good service post installations. They also sell anything and everything you could possibly need as far as accessories.

Torklift absolutely deserves their outstanding rating! I needed a last-minute trailer hitch installation and they delivered exceptional service from start to finish. Karen at the front desk went above and beyond when she learned I’d need to Uber 20+ minutes to work. Without me even asking, she arranged complimentary pickup and drop-off service. Garrett provided the ride and was incredibly friendly and professional throughout. The hitch installation was completed quickly and flawlessly despite my last minute scheduling needs. This team truly made my day with their awesome automotive service. Highly recommend Torklift for anyone needing professional hitch installation.

I was very impressed by the professionalism and expertise when these people installed camper tie downs and wiring. Everything was solid and well done. I had a minor accident where my tiedowns needed a little fixing and I brought them to their facility in Kent. They went right to it and did what needed to be done for no extra charge and a happy “we appreciate your business”. I’d recommend these folks to anyone!

Had Torklift change out my pin box onmy 38' Montana 5th wheel. Had it changed out to a gooseneck type. Very professional. Works like a charm. Should have done it long ago. Always bring my trailer issues to them and always friendly and knowlegeable. Even stopped traffic so that i could vet this long monster out into traffic

The whole team there was great and got me fixed up and directed for issues they didn't deal with. I highly recommend Torklift Central, they know what they're doing and provide the outcome you're needing.

Everyone was very knowledgeable and helpful. We trusted them 10 years ago with our new Motorhome and Lincoln and they offer the same great service fixing up our older hitches.

Torklift Central added some sides to our dump truck and did an outstanding job. The sides look professional and are incredibly sturdy. Karen kept us apprised when there were delays and made sure the work passed their rigorous QC process. We would highly recommend them!
