Where is a good place around Atlanta to have a hitch installed on my Jetta?  I'm only looking for something to haul my bicycle around, not actually tow something.

Better check to make sure it cab hold it. My 02 will only do a class  I so there aren't any bigger made.

Amazon and etrailer have plenty of simple bolt on options for most cars.

Muffler shops often do double duty installing hitches.  What year/model/etc Jetta?

I installed a class II on my GTI fairly quickly.

It looks like there are bolt on kits available for every model of Jetta.
I would do it myself if I were you. A hell of an engineer should be able to handle it.

I can't believe that the jokes have not been pouring in, so I will start.

How many  GA Tech engineers does it take to put a hitch on a Jetta?

I always use the U-Haul in Kennesaw. You can set everything up online and get discounts. I have had at least 6 hitches installed by them over the years and their work is always great.

I can do the math to make sure everything won't fall apart or tell you where it will fall apart, but I am not know for being mechanically inclined.  My dad once told me I could tear up an anvil....

I just bought a receiver from these guys. They have a ton of videos on their site, and they actually answer the phone when you call them. They'll credit you 110% of the price diff too if you find your part somewhere else.

Check out this video

Just watched the video. Much bigger PITA than mine will be.

It's generally easier than changing a tire. Wiring can be tricky but you are not concerned with that.

No.  I've never been to Creekside, and I do know how to use channel locks.

I would think a GT engineer would be able to do it. I know a UGA grad could.....
