We don't have any specific advice on an installer, but because the installation involves removing the bumper cover, I'd recommend having a body shop complete the installation for you. EcoHitch lists an estimated 2 hour installation. Any local body shop that has a good reputation among their customers should be able to easily handle the installation for you.
