About

Justin Lawrentz is the CEO of Mobile Auto Outfitters and has personally installed more than 10,000 trailer hitches over the course of his career. He spent four years at Aiken Brothers / Aiken Hitch & Outdoor before purchasing the company in 2019 and rebranding it into a fully mobile operation, expanding services to include running boards, roof rails, and more. With over a decade of hands-on experience, he understands both the technical side of the work and the business strategy behind it. Justin is a summa cum laude graduate of the University of Alabama with a focus in leadership, U.S. history. Surprisingly, he isn’t actually a “car guy.” He just believes in showing up, doing the job right, and helping people get back to what matters.

Honda CRV (2017-) Hitch Installation
Installing a Trailer Hitch on a 2017–Current Honda CR-V Installing a trailer hitch on a 2017 or newer Honda CR-V is more involved than simply bolting something underneath the vehicle. To ensure proper fitment, clean appearance, and long-term durability, we follow a detailed, vehicle-specific process. Here’s what that looks like. 1.
