A proud South Australian business since 1946
Allin Towbars is a proudly South Australian family owned and operated business that has been in operation for over 75 years. The business is currently owned and managed by four sisters, second generation from the Gynell family. We are a female and family friendly business with a fun, positive and “can-do” attitude that radiates throughout the organisation.
Allin is a medium sized, healthy and profitable business that designs, manufactures, supplies and installs a wide range of towbars and towing / 4WD accessories for the automotive trade and general public. We are a one-stop shop for all your towing and 4WD needs.
Our 30 staff manufacture hundreds of types of towbars which are fitted directly to the car either at the factory, from mobile vans or by resellers in their workshops. In addition, we supply and fit rear steps, light protectors, smart bars, electric brakes, dual-battery systems, weight distribution hitches, towing mirrors and many more caravan and 4WD accessories – custom fabrication is a specialty.
We pride ourselves as a business that produces Australian made products from Australian made steel wherever possible and available. Allin is proud to be considered the top-of-mind aftermarket product to South Australia’s leading automotive dealerships.
Attention to customer needs is well noted by clients and has contributed to the steady growth of the business. We are well known throughout the industry for our complimentary technical advice and support and Allin’s return customer dedication is highly valued and welcomed.
A close relationship with the caravan and camping industry allows us to assist both the new and experienced caravan enthusiasts with technical support and towing safety tips.
The business has recently undergone some substantial and exciting changes. Rebrand, property redevelopment and extensive machinery upgrades has given this long standing successful business an aesthetic polish. New fitting bays with an increased capacity for fitments now provides a comfortable/modern environment for both employees and customers alike.
Whether you are looking to mount the kid’s bikes on the back of your car, tow a 4×6 trailer or maybe something more heavy duty such as a boat, horse float or caravan – Allin is here to help.
