To avoid being lured into a con trap, one should make a point to shortlist all the dealers prices and pick the best price offered before making a purchase.

The structure is used to carry the bikes meaning its usually loaded. But under such weight multiplied by the car movements and the vibrations, it can give in to the forces and break. To avoid such, one should look for such a strong and durable extension made of a strong material such as steel. This helps save on repair cost and inconvenience caused.
