Trailer hitch installs are pretty basic for qualified mechanics. What we recommend people do is find a local garage with a good reputation to install the hitch. Otherwise, we do not have a specific recommendation for your area.

The Curt hitch part # C13290 that you referenced is the best hitch option we have for your 2017 Mercedes GLC300 so it would be our recommendation.

I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
